Summary:
In the 95466 zip code of Guerneville, California, there is one K-12 alternative school, California Pacific Charter - Sonoma, which operates as its own California Pacific Charter - Sonoma District.
This school shows a clear academic strength in mathematics, where student proficiency significantly outpaces the California state average across several grades, including an impressive 62.96% proficiency for 11th graders. However, performance in English Language Arts is more mixed, with younger grades falling below state averages while 11th grade performs above average. The school maintains an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 5.3-to-1, suggesting a high level of individual attention, and serves a student population where over half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite its resources and math success, the school faces notable challenges with a dropout rate nearly double the state average and chronic absenteeism above the state average. These factors indicate difficulties with student retention and engagement that exist alongside the academic strengths. For parents, this school represents a unique, small-scale K-12 option with a demonstrated capacity for strong math instruction but also clear areas for improvement in keeping students consistently attending and progressing to graduation.
