Summary:
The NextGeneration STEAM Academy District has one listed school, NextGeneration STEAM Academy, serving kindergarten through grade 8, with 797 students. Its 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency rates were above California’s in all three subjects: 61% in English language arts (ELA) versus 49% statewide, 52% in math versus 38%, and 42% in science versus 36%. The clearest overall strength is math, where the school’s result was 14 percentage points above the state’s.
There is no meaningful top-to-bottom comparison among schools here: this school is both the area’s highest and lowest by default. Its grade results show a sharper contrast. In grades 7 and 8, ELA proficiency was about 24 points above the state in each grade, and math was 22 points higher in grade 7 and 23 points higher in grade 8. But grade 3 was below the state in both ELA (37% versus 44%, a 7-point gap) and math (39% versus 47%, an 8-point gap). Fifth-grade science was also 2 points below the state, while eighth-grade science was 14 points higher. This variation means the favorable all-grade results do not describe every grade equally.
All-grade results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 4 points, math 3 points, and science 10 points. The school’s advantage over the state widened by 4 points in ELA and 2 in math; in science, it moved from 1 point below the state to 6 points above. SchoolDigger gave the school 3 stars and a 68th-percentile ranking in 2025–2026, up 2 percentile points from the prior year but 3 points below its 2023–2024 percentile and 4-star rating. Other context includes a 23.6 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 49% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025; these figures do not explain the test results.
