Summary:
The Morrice Schaefer Charter District in Santa Rosa contains a single elementary school, Morrice Schaefer Charter, which serves grades K-6 with 304 students.
This school faces significant academic challenges, with its performance on state tests in English, math, and science falling well below California averages. Its statewide ranking has declined sharply over recent years, and it currently holds a low performance rating. A notable concern is the chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state average and can directly impact student learning. The school community has a high level of economic need, with over 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite spending more per student than the state average, academic outcomes remain a pressing issue. Performance is weakest in upper-grade mathematics, suggesting a potential area for targeted support. For parents, this indicates the school is in need of substantial improvement and may require comprehensive interventions addressing both attendance and classroom instruction to help students succeed.
