Summary

Inspire Charter School - North is a K–12 alternative school in Meridian, California, with 1,592 students, making it the second largest among 11 nearby schools listed. Its clearest academic strength is science: in 2025–2026, 49% of students were proficient, compared with 36% statewide and 30% in the Winship-Robbins district.

Compared with nearby schools, Inspire led the available same-year science results: its 49% was above Pathways Charter Academy at 36%, as well as the reported scores for Yuba County Career Preparatory Charter, Yuba City Independence Academy and Sutter County Special Education. ELA was 52% overall, above the state’s 49% but just below the district’s 53%; Pathways scored 64%. Math was 38%, slightly below the state’s 38% and above the district’s 35%. Grade results vary considerably: 11th graders were well above state results in ELA, math and science, with proficiency rates of 84%, 56% and 64%; third-grade ELA was 35%, 9 points below the state, and third-grade math was 41%, 6 points below. So, the overall math result masks strong performance in some grades and weaker results in others.

Graduation improved from 94% in 2024–2025 to 97% in 2025–2026, while the state rate was 87.5% and 87.9%, respectively; Inspire’s dropout rate fell from 3% to 1%. SchoolDigger rates the district—not the school—at 280th of 968, in the 71st percentile, with four stars. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 24.5 in 2017–2018, and its historical free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 39% that year, down 8 points from the prior year; no current low-income measure is supplied. Test results are available for only 2025–2026, and the ratio and lunch-eligibility figures are older than nearby-school comparisons.
