California is CDE’s statewide math row for each grade, counting every student tested there; the comparisons in the chapters combine these rows for their grades, weighted by students tested (our calculation).
A grade the school doesn't teach has no row. “Suppressed” marks a result CDE blanks because fewer than 11 students tested (CDE’s reporting rule); “none tested” marks a grade CDE lists with no students tested; “not on file” marks a result missing from the records we hold. None of them means zero.
Well below California in both subjects. In grades 6–8, spring 2026, 33% scored Proficient or Advanced in English and 23% in math, against 49% and 37% across California. The middle grades are placed separately: 35th percentile (Developing) among California’s middle schools.

How the state’s growth measure worksPoints above or below what the state expected from the same students’ earlier scores
California uses each student’s English and math scores from the year before to set an expected score, based on how students with similar earlier scores did across the state. Zero would mean students here scored as expected. In English they scored 3 points below that expected score, and in math 4 points below it.
The state sorts every school’s growth result into five growth levels, from Minimal to Exceptional.
Here, as at most schools, the state’s figure blends the two most recent years, so it moves more slowly than one year’s scores.
What you can do
Who can act on American River Charter’s results?
American River Charter’s own board decides its plan.
The state hasn’t placed American River Charter in a support program. Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source ↗
Where is its yearly plan?
American River Charter is a charter school that CDE lists as locally funded, through its district.
Authorizer from the California Department of Education’s charter term file; term from its Charter School Database, checked October 22, 2026. Source ↗
Reading screening in kindergarten through grade 2What the law requires, and what to ask
California law requires schools to screen kindergartners through second graders for reading difficulties every year, with some exceptions. You get notice at least 15 days before, results within 45 days, and can opt out in writing.
Kindergartners can’t be screened before the 91st school day; transitional kindergarten isn’t covered.
If screening shows your child may be at risk for reading difficulties, the school must provide supports. That result isn’t a diagnosis, and screening can’t be used to delay a special-education evaluation.
Ask how many K–2 students screening found at risk last year, and how many got extra reading help.
How often do students miss school or get suspended?

Where students who finished high school went
CDE college-going records, class of 2023. College enrollment is counted for 12 months after finishing high school and matched to college records, so this runs about two years behind. A dash is unavailable, not zero.
Ask families and staff yourselfWhat to ask the people at American River Charter

CDE SARC report 2024–25, measured 2021–22: 64% of teaching positions, 6 properly credentialed teaching-position FTE out of 9.4 total position FTE. This measures positions, not individual teachers.
In its own words
What does American River Charter’s own plan commit to?
Its 2026–27 plan
The plan lists what the school commits to spend and measure.
$1.6 million
planned for 15 funded actions in 1 goal. That’s 8% of its $20.9 million general fund budget. These are planned amounts; the charter school reports what it spent in a later plan.
The 2026–27 plan in short
Source: the charter school’s yearly spending plan (Local Control and Accountability Plan, or LCAP, 56 pages), as posted to the California School Dashboard.
Where the money goes
Three actions take 86% of the money. The plan itself puts 34% of it toward staff.

For high-need students
It plans $257,525 in extra services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. For 2025–26, it planned $229,446 and estimates it spent $245,982, $16,536 (7%) more than planned (our arithmetic).

What its goals measure
Read these state results for this school as context for the goals they measure; results alone can’t show what the plan caused.
The test rows are schoolwide results for every grade the school tests; the source doesn’t list which grades. The headline at the top of this page covers grades 3–5 only: 32% in English and 22% in math, spring 2026.

Figures from CDE’s state test, chronic absence and suspension files. Test figures cover every grade the school tests (California tests grades 3–8 and 11), so they differ from a profile’s rated grades. Chronically absent means a student missed 10% or more of school days.

Index is where the school's value sits among the California elementary schools we score, from 0 to 100, where 50 is their average; it is not a percentile. School values are from 2025–26. Chronic absence and suspension are CDE's all-students school rates; the score uses an adjusted version of each that pulls small schools toward the average, so their index can sit nearer 50 than the rate suggests. The weights above add to 75%: the remaining 25%, for measures with no value here, is shared out among the measures above.

Chronic absence and suspension are CDE’s all-students school rates for each year.
Grade gap: the same year’s grade 3 and grade 5 results, side by side. They are different children, so the gap describes one year, not any child’s progress. The Scope Score’s growth measure is a different comparison, shown in Score factors above (how it’s built).

CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a valid growth score. SchoolScope uses that threshold for the shorter narrative view; the reported values stay visible here. “Not categorized” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. At least one estimate here is a CDE weighted estimate; that describes how CDE combines years, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California elementary school records, the median English estimate is +2 and the middle half fall between −5 and +9 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read the figure against it, not its sign alone. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8, and it is not part of the Scope Score.

How the California mean was selected
SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.
Selected General Fund operating costs · FY 2024–25 · SchoolScope calculation
These shares are our arithmetic: each group’s dollars divided by the $19,797,809 total of the groups shown, rounded to whole percents by largest remainder so they add up to 100. Dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar, so they can differ from the total by a dollar. SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
