Summary:
The Tehama eLearning Academy District consists of a single, specialized online high school, Tehama eLearning Academy, serving grades 7-12 in Red Bluff with 128 students.
This school serves a high-need population, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it operates as a fully online learning academy. Academic performance data shows significant challenges, particularly in mathematics, where only about 3% of students met state standards, which is dramatically below the state average. Performance in English and science is also below average, and the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years.
Key considerations for parents include the school's alternative online format, its higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 25% (which may reflect engagement in a virtual setting), and a graduation rate below the state average. While per-student spending is slightly above the state average, outcomes suggest families should investigate the specific academic supports and engagement strategies the school uses to address these performance gaps.
