Summary

Oak Bridge Academy is a K-12 alternative public school in Chico, CA, serving 188 students within the Chico Unified School District, and it stands out for its exceptional success in helping students graduate.

The school's most remarkable strength is its graduation rate, which at 98.3% far exceeds both district and state averages and is the highest among local alternative schools like Oakdale (80.5%) and Paradise eLearning Academy (77.3%). This focus on getting students to the finish line comes with significant per-student spending, which is higher than most nearby alternatives. While test scores in math and science are typically below average, the school performs relatively well in English Language Arts compared to other similar schools.

When looking at the broader landscape, Oak Bridge Academy's primary peer is CORE Butte Charter, which achieves strong academics and even better attendance but with a slightly lower graduation rate. Oak Bridge shows clear improvement in reducing chronic absenteeism, and its rate is much better than several other alternatives. For parents considering an alternative education path, Oak Bridge Academy presents a compelling model that prioritizes personalized support and graduation success above all else.
