Summary

Binkley Elementary Charter is a K-6 public charter school serving 351 students within the Rincon Valley Union Elementary district in Santa Rosa, consistently performing above the state average while serving a community with a moderate level of economic need.

Academically, Binkley stands out for its strong science program, where nearly half of students are proficient, significantly outpacing both state and district averages and outperforming nearby schools with similar student populations like Manzanita Elementary Charter and Whited Elementary Charter. The school has also made remarkable progress in improving student attendance, dramatically reducing chronic absenteeism over the past two years to a rate that is now better than the district average and lower than neighboring schools such as Madrone Elementary. While not the highest-performing school in its district—that distinction belongs to Austin Creek Elementary—Binkley achieves its solid results while serving a student body with greater economic needs.

Binkley shows particular effectiveness in supporting economically disadvantaged students and has maintained stable performance over time. The school operates with moderate per-student spending compared to others in the area, suggesting efficient use of resources. For families, Binkley represents a stable and effective educational option that delivers above-average academic outcomes, excels in science, and has shown impressive recent success in getting students to school regularly.
