River Oak Charter

Summary:

River Oak Charter is a public charter elementary school located in Ukiah, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 236 students. The school is part of the River Oak Charter District, which is ranked 496 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

River Oak Charter is a high-performing charter school, particularly in the upper elementary and middle school grades, with strong academic outcomes in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science. The school's female students, white students, and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students demonstrate impressive performance compared to their respective state averages, suggesting effective strategies for supporting these student populations. However, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.0% in 2022-2023 is a concern and may be an area for improvement.

Compared to nearby public schools in the Ukiah Unified School District, River Oak Charter generally outperforms them in ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates. For example, in 2023-2024, River Oak Charter's ELA proficiency rate for 6th grade (52%) was significantly higher than the Ukiah Unified average of 32.72%. However, River Oak Charter's performance is not as strong as the nearby public charter school, Tree of Life Charter, which had an ELA proficiency rate of 57.78% (End of Course) in 2023-2024.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
