Natomas Charter School (NCS), established in 1993, is a California Distinguished School celebrating over 30 years of excellence in public education. Serving more than 1,800 students across grades TK–12 in five distinct academies, NCS consistently ranks in the top 10% of California public schools for graduation and college acceptance rates. Why Natomas Charter School Stands Out • Learning Guarantee: NCS is built upon three core pillars—Students First, Accountability, and Innovation—and designs curriculum that is purposeful, hands-on, and relevant to challenge and support today’s learners. • Diverse & Inclusive Community: Proudly serving one of the nation’s most racially, linguistically, and LGBTQ+ diverse communities, NCS fosters a well-rounded and inclusive environment with curriculum and staff members reflective of our students’ diverse identities. • Celebrated Academically & Artistically: The school frequently earns top local and statewide distinctions, including a Niche “Best Charter” ranking and national recognition for college prep and advanced arts programs. • Stable, Supportive Staff: With an annual staff retention rate often over 95%, many educators and administrators build long-term careers at NCS. The school provides CalSTRS and CalPERS retirement options. Five Unique Academies (TK–12) 1.
