Summary:
This analysis covers two public high schools located at 3939 13th Street in Riverside, CA (zip code 92501), both operated by the Riverside County Office of Education and serving grades 9-12, with one also including middle school grades.
Parents should be aware that both CBK Charter and Riverside County Community serve high-needs student populations and face significant academic challenges, consistently performing below state and district averages. Between the two, CBK Charter is the stronger performer, with a notably higher graduation rate (50.0%) and proficiency in English Language Arts, though its mathematics proficiency is critically low at 2.92%. Riverside County Community has a much lower graduation rate (23.7%) and an extremely high dropout rate of 76.3%, despite having smaller classes and more funding per student.
A key finding is the severe chronic absenteeism, especially at Riverside County Community where 68.3% of students are chronically absent, which correlates with its poorer outcomes. Both schools show stable but low performance over recent years, indicating deep-rooted challenges. For families, this suggests a need to look closely at each school's specific support programs, attendance strategies, and academic interventions, particularly in mathematics, when considering enrollment.
