Summary

Uncharted Shores Academy is a K-9 alternative school serving 283 students in Crescent City, California, operating under its own Uncharted Shores Academy District and achieving strong results in a community with significant economic need.

The school's most extraordinary achievement is its near-perfect attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 0.7%, which is dramatically lower than the state average and over 100 times better than nearby Del Norte Community school. Academically, Uncharted Shores consistently outperforms state averages in English Language Arts and Science, though its math scores are an area for growth. It accomplishes this with moderate per-student spending and a class size similar to the well-regarded Castle Rock school.

This consistent performance over several years highlights a highly effective school culture, particularly in engaging students and families. The data shows that "alternative school" can mean very different things, with Uncharted Shores standing out as a model of strong attendance and academic achievement in certain key subjects compared to other local options.
