Summary:
The high-school list for AeroSTEM Academy District contains one school, AeroSTEM Academy, serving grades 5–12 with 116 students. In 2025–26, its all-grade English language arts and math proficiency were below California’s results, while science was above; chronic absenteeism was also much higher. The most important finding is this mixed academic picture alongside absenteeism of 40%, compared with 18% statewide.
With just one school, there is no meaningful comparison or ranking among local schools; the clearest contrasts are between grades. Eighth graders were ahead of state results in all three reported subjects: ELA was 58% versus 49%, math 44% versus 36%, and science 52% versus 35%. Eleventh graders were behind in each: ELA was 21% versus 57%, math 14% versus 32%, and science 21% versus 38%. Across all grades, the school’s results were 44% in ELA and 34% in math, respectively 5 and 4 points below the state, while science was 42%, 6 points above. SchoolDigger ranks the school 1,591st of 2,137 schools, at the 26th percentile, with 1 star.
Results changed unevenly from 2024–25 to 2025–26, and the school’s position relative to the state weakened slightly or substantially in every subject. ELA fell 12 points, from 56% to 44%, while the state result edged up; math rose about 1 point and science rose 3 points, but neither gain kept pace with state improvement. The school’s ELA gap shifted from 7 points above the state to 5 below, while its science advantage narrowed from about 7 points to 6. As context, 77% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. The school reported a 40% graduation rate and 60% dropout rate for 2022–23, but the supplied state figures are from 2025–26 and are not same-year comparisons.
