Summary:
The Feaster (Mae L.) Charter District consists of a single, large K-8 elementary school, Feaster (Mae L.) Charter, serving over 1,000 students in Chula Vista.
This school demonstrates a significant strength in student engagement, with a chronic absenteeism rate of only 7.1%, which is dramatically better than the state average of 19.4%. It also shows strong performance in English Language Arts for its older students, with 7th and 8th graders scoring above state averages. However, overall academic performance is below state averages, particularly in mathematics and science, and the school's statewide ranking has declined slightly over the past few years to a 1-star rating.
With high per-student spending and a student body where over 80% are economically disadvantaged, the school's exceptional attendance is a notable achievement. The key takeaway for parents is a school environment that successfully gets students to class but faces challenges in translating that attendance into consistent academic achievement across all subjects and grade levels, indicating potential areas for focused improvement.
