Summary:

Yuba River Charter is a public charter elementary school serving 315 students in grades K-8 in Grass Valley, California. The school is part of the Yuba River Charter District, which is ranked 222 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Yuba River Charter consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 61.41% of Yuba River Charter students were proficient or better in ELA End of Course, compared to the state average of 47.04%. The school also performs particularly well for its male students and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 25% and top 24% of California elementary schools, respectively, in 2023-2024. However, the school's white student population is underperforming compared to the state average, which could be an area for the school to focus on.

While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.1% in 2022-2023 is higher than the state average, it is still lower than some nearby schools, which could be an area for improvement.

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.

2024	322	12.2	26.2	50.9

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
