Summary

Redding STEM Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Redding, California, with 237 students. This relatively small school is part of the Redding STEM Academy District, which is ranked 565 out of 1,565 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Redding STEM Academy consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics on the Smarter Balanced Assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 51.88% of students proficient or better in ELA End-of-Course, compared to the state average of 48.81%. In Mathematics, the school had 30.83% proficient or better in End-of-Course, compared to the state's 37.3%. The school also excels in science, with 58.7% of students proficient or better in the CAST Science assessment, significantly higher than the state average of 32.65%. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, Redding STEM Academy has been able to maintain strong academic performance, ranking in the top 40% of California elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years.

When compared to the nearby public elementary schools, such as Shasta Lake and Cypress Elementary, Redding STEM Academy generally outperforms them in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.2% to 30.0% in recent years, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students and white students, is relatively weaker compared to the school's overall strong academic standing, and the school should investigate strategies to address these achievement gaps.
