Summary

Santa Rosa French-American Charter (SRFACS) is a standout K-8 public charter school serving 525 students in Santa Rosa, CA, consistently ranking in the top 25% of all California elementary schools despite being part of the lower-performing Santa Rosa Elementary district.

The school excels academically, with student proficiency rates significantly higher than both district and state averages in English, math, and science; for example, 8th graders achieve 88% proficiency in English. A key to this success is an exceptionally strong attendance culture, with a chronic absenteeism rate of only 8.8%, which is less than half the rate of the surrounding district and nearby schools like Proctor Terrace Elementary and Brook Hill Elementary. SRFACS has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade, rising from one of the lowest-ranked schools in the state to its current high standing.

SRFACS delivers these excellent results efficiently, spending less per student than some neighboring schools while outperforming them. It serves all student subgroups effectively and stands out as the top performer in its immediate area, with a performance level comparable to schools in higher-ranked districts, such as Yulupa Elementary. For families, SRFACS offers a proven, high-achieving educational model within the local community.
