Summary

Lake View Charter is a K–12 alternative school in Rancho Cordova, serving 969 students in the Sacramento-area community. Its latest results show a mixed academic picture: all-grade ELA and math proficiency were below California’s averages, while science was above. Most importantly, science is Lake View’s clearest strength: 41% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 36% statewide.

Compared with nearby alternative schools reporting results for the same year, Lake View was near the top in ELA and science and ranked second in math. Its science result was higher than New Pacific Charter - Rancho Cordova (38%), Marconi Learning Academy (28%), Innovations Academy (25%) and Walnutwood High (Independent Study) (23%). Math remains the largest statewide academic gap: 25% proficiency at Lake View versus 38% statewide, a 14-point shortfall. ELA was 40% versus 49%, a 9-point gap. Lake View’s graduation rate was 91%, 3 points above the state, and chronic absenteeism was 1%, compared with 18% statewide. District test results are not provided, so a district comparison is not available.

Results have improved over the longer term, but not steadily. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, science proficiency rose 16 points, and its position shifted from 6 points below the state to 5 points above. ELA increased 6 points, narrowing its statewide gap from 12 points to 9, though its latest result fell from the previous year. Math rose by less than 1 point while the state improved by 4, widening Lake View’s gap from 11 points to 14. As context, its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 34.6, higher than most nearby schools, and 56% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—around the middle of comparable nearby schools.
