Trillium Charter has transitional kindergarten (TK). Our records do not hold school hours or before- and after-school care yet. Ask the office.

State support
The state hasn’t placed Trillium Charter in a support program. Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source
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.
California Education Code § 53008. Source
Questions to ask
Bring these 5 questions to Trillium Charter. Confirm anything about applying with the school itself.
Ask current families how the school keeps them informed, and what happened when their child needed help. Ask staff how long teachers tend to stay.
Getting in
Ask Trillium Charter how it admits students. Charter schools set their own enrollment steps and dates.

Its own plan
$927,550 is planned for 19 funded actions in 3 goals. These are planned amounts; the charter school reports what it spent in a later plan.

Three actions take 49% of the money. The plan itself puts 71% of it toward staff.
1 of the plan’s 19 funded actions names reading, math, catch-up help or English learners in its title.
Largest of these
It plans $281,413 in extra services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. For 2025–26, it planned $308,162 and estimates it spent $308,162, the same as planned.
The total is $133,432 (17%) higher than in the 2025–26 plan. The biggest change in dollars is Facilities, maintenance, and safety, which went from $36,320 to $74,093.

Goal 3 isn’t shown because it tracks named schools.
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.
We calculate each action’s share of the plan by dividing its planned amount by the total of the plan’s funded actions ($927,550).

All Grades is an aggregate, not another group of students. Same-year grade groups are not matched children. 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.

These figures are not directly comparable: school ESSA attributed spending and NCES district current expense use different measures and populations. Their fiscal years are labeled above.
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.

These shares are our arithmetic: each group’s dollars divided by the $7,869,378 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.
