River Charter Schools Lighthouse Charter District

The River Charter Schools Lighthouse Charter District consists of a single elementary school, River Charter Schools Lighthouse Charter. The school has consistently ranked in the middle range of California elementary schools, with its performance on standardized tests varying across grade levels and subjects. While the school's 5th and 8th grade English Language Arts/Literacy proficiency rates are higher than the state average, its overall proficiency rates in other subjects and grade levels tend to be below the statewide averages.

One notable challenge facing the school is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a student population with a high percentage (50.14%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.7, which could be a potential strength to build upon.

While the River Charter Schools Lighthouse Charter has room for improvement, there are also areas where the school is outperforming the state average, such as in 5th and 6th grade Mathematics and 5th grade Science. By identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's uneven academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, as well as leveraging its strengths, the school has the potential to provide a better educational experience for its students.
