Yuba Environmental Science Charter Academy: The scores are below where anyone wants them. Here's what they don't tell you.
Yuba Environmental Science Charter Academy posts low test scores — and attendance holds near the state average — families haven't checked out. If this is your zoned school, the numbers below are where to start a conversation, not where to end one.
Yuba Environmental Science Charter Academy scores 27 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 11th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “41% proficient” and call it done. Yuba Environmental Science Charter Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Oregon House, where three in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 8.4% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.
As a charter, Yuba Environmental Science Charter Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
