Summary:
ZIP code 95974 has one school, Richvale Charter Academy, an elementary school serving grades 1–6 with 53 students, so families do not have another local school in this data set to compare it with. Its 2025–2026 results vary sharply by subject: all-grade proficiency was 60% in mathematics, 46% in English language arts (ELA) and 20% in science. The clearest takeaway is that Richvale’s mathematics results are strong relative to the state, while its science results are notably weaker.
Mathematics is the school’s standout: its 60% proficiency rate was 22 percentage points above the state and 33 points above Biggs Unified. By contrast, ELA was 3 points below the state, and science was 16 points below; science matched the district at 20%. The mathematics advantage also appears in both reported grades, though it is much larger in third grade: 85% proficiency was 38 points above the state, compared with 45% in fifth grade, 8 points above the state. Attendance is another positive: chronic absenteeism was 6%, versus 15% in the district and 18% statewide in 2025–2026.
Recent results point in different directions: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Richvale’s ELA proficiency fell from 50% to 46%, moving from about 1 point above the state to 3 points below; mathematics rose from 58% to 60%, widening its state advantage from 21 to 22 points. SchoolDigger gives Richvale 3 stars and a 55th-percentile ranking for 2025–2026, compared with the 41st percentile in 2014–2015 and 73rd in 2006–2007; these rankings are separate from the test-score trend. Context figures include a student-teacher ratio of 18 in 2024–2025 and 53% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch that school year. Fourth- and sixth-grade ELA and mathematics results are suppressed, so those grades cannot be assessed from the supplied figures.
