Summary

Compass Charter School of Yolo is a K-12 alternative charter school serving 389 students in Thousand Oaks, operating independently under its own Compass Charter School of Yolo District.

This school shows notable strengths, including English and Science proficiency rates that exceed the state average, and it stands out for exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at just 7%, far better than the state and nearby schools like Monte Vista. It generally outperforms other alternative and virtual schools in the area, such as Insight @ San Diego and other Compass Charter Schools of Los Angeles. However, parents should be aware of significant challenges, including a high and fluctuating dropout rate and math scores that trail the state average, with performance declining in middle school grades.

When compared to its closest neighbor, River Oaks Academy, which is less than a mile away, Compass Charter School of Yolo has lower academic proficiency and higher per-student spending. The school's graduation rate has been volatile and below state averages, creating a contrast with its strong daily attendance, suggesting that while engaged students attend regularly, the school faces hurdles in retaining them through to graduation.
