Summary

Stege Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 225 students in Richmond, California, as part of the West Contra Costa Unified school district, and it faces significant academic and attendance challenges that place it among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

The school's most urgent issue is chronic absenteeism, with nearly 58% of students missing significant school time, a rate more than double the district average and far higher than nearby schools like Mira Vista Elementary (21.1%) or Michelle Obama Elementary (29.9%). This is closely tied to very low academic performance, with fewer than 9% of students proficient in English and only about 3% proficient in math, placing Stege in the bottom 1% of all California elementary schools. For comparison, Richmond College Preparatory, a charter school serving a similar community, reports proficiency rates above 50%.

Despite spending more per student ($8,343) than most neighboring district schools, Stege's outcomes remain critically low. The data shows that improvement is possible within the same area, as demonstrated by the stronger performance of Mira Vista Elementary. The school's situation highlights a complex set of challenges where addressing student attendance appears to be a fundamental first step toward any potential academic improvement.
