Mission Academy District

Mission Academy District has one listed school, Mission Academy, serving grades 6–12 and enrolling 694 students in California. Although classified as a high school, it serves both middle and high school grades. In 2025–2026, all-grades test results were below California’s in ELA (32% vs. 49%), math (33% vs. 38%), and science (29% vs. 36%). The most urgent concern is that the graduation rate was 36% compared with 88% statewide, while chronic absenteeism was 59% compared with 18%.

There are no peer schools in the district to rank meaningfully, so the useful comparison is with California. Among all-grades subjects, ELA had the widest state gap: 17 points, compared with 6 points in math and 7 in science. Grade-level results show some exceptions: 11th-grade math was 5 points above the state, and 12th-grade science was 6 points above. ELA, however, was below the state in every grade reported; the largest gap was in grade 8, at 29 points. These grade-specific strengths and weaknesses are not reflected fully in the all-grades figures.

Results improved in math and science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, rising by 4 and 9 points, while ELA fell by 2 points and its state gap widened. Across the three subjects, the average gap with California narrowed by about 2 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from the 34th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 56th in 2024–2025 and 59th in 2025–2026; its rank moved from 1,433 of 2,159 to 948 of 2,162, then 884 of 2,137. Context figures include a student-teacher ratio of 20.2 in 2024–2025 and 78% of students reported as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures describe the school but do not explain its results.
