Summary:

California Pacific Charter - Sonoma is an alternative public charter school located in Guerneville, California, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 128 students. The school is part of the California Pacific Charter - Sonoma District.

One of the school's notable strengths is its high graduation rate of 90.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average of 86.4%.

Additionally, California Pacific Charter - Sonoma has a relatively low dropout rate of 9.5%, which is lower than the state average of 13.9% and the rates at Pathways Charter (13.9%) and Pivot Charter School - North Bay (54.6%).

While the school's academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally lower than the state averages, it outperforms some of the nearby alternative schools, such as Sonoma County Special Education, Sonoma County Court, and Sonoma County Alternative Education Programs. However, the school lags behind some of the higher-performing charter schools in the area, such as Pathways Charter and Orchard View. The school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.3% also suggests 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.

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.
