Summary

Come Back Butte Charter is a small high school in Oroville, California, serving grades 9–12 with 93 students and administered by the Butte County Office of Education. Its graduation and attendance results point to serious challenges: in 2025–2026, 35% of students graduated, compared with 72% districtwide and 88% statewide, while 44% dropped out. Chronic absenteeism was 48%, well above the district’s 13% and the state’s 18%. The most important concern is that students are not consistently staying engaged through graduation.

ELA is the school’s stronger tested subject, but results in both ELA and math are low compared with the district, the state, and most nearby schools. In 2025–2026, 17% were proficient in ELA, compared with 22% in the district and 49% statewide; in math, 3% were proficient, versus 8% districtwide and 38% statewide. Among nearby schools with results, Come Back Butte had the second-lowest proficiency in each subject; only Prospect High (Continuation) scored lower. Nearby-school averages were 51% in ELA and 22% in math, leaving Come Back Butte 34 and 19 percentage points below those averages, respectively.

ELA improved in the latest year, rising from 5% proficient in 2024–2025 to 17% in 2025–2026, and its gap from the state narrowed compared with 2022–2023. Math rose from 0% to 3% over the same recent period, while the state’s result increased from 35% to 38%; the school’s math gap widened slightly. SchoolDigger places Come Back Butte at the 13th percentile statewide with one star, up from the 1st percentile and zero stars the prior year. Its student-teacher ratio was 22.5 in 2024–2025, higher than nearby schools with reported ratios (10.3–19.5). In that same year, 96% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible; this is a separate measure from California’s statewide free-meals program. One notable subgroup change in SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves students: the Male Students percentile rose from 5 to 21 between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, compared with an overall percentile rise from 1 to 13.
