Summary:
The Redding Elementary district consists of nine public schools serving grades K-8, with one K-12 alternative charter school, educating about 2,750 students in total.
Among these schools, Stellar Charter stands out as the top performer, with the highest test scores in English, math, and science, and an exceptionally low rate of chronic student absenteeism. Other strong options include Sycamore Elementary, which achieves solid academic results despite a high percentage of students from low-income families, and the large Turtle Bay school, which shows particular strength in 8th grade English.
Parents should be aware that performance varies across the district. Redding Community Day and Cypress Elementary face significant academic and attendance challenges, while Sequoia Middle school has notably lower math proficiency. Overall, the district's average test scores are close to the state average in math but slightly lower in English and science, though most schools have better student attendance rates than the California average.
