Pivot Charter School - North Bay

Summary:

Pivot Charter School - North Bay is an alternative public charter virtual school serving grades K-12 in Santa Rosa, California, with 394 students. However, the school is struggling, with a low four-year graduation rate of 42.9%, a high dropout rate of 54.6%, and a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 60.8% for the 2022-2023 school year.

Pivot Charter School - North Bay significantly underperforms the state average in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.87% of 11th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 55.73%.

The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.81% to 54.82% over the past three school years, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-income families. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio at Pivot Charter School - North Bay is relatively high, ranging from 16 to 18.3 over the past three school years, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

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.
