Public, Charter Grades K-6

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 57% of California elementary schools

Summary

Fenton STEM Academy is a public elementary school serving 288 students in grades K-6 in Sun Valley, California, operating within the Fenton STEM Acad: Elementary Center for Sci Technical Engr district and standing out for its strong student engagement and effective support for its community.

The school's most remarkable strength is its exceptionally low rate of chronic absenteeism, at just 7.5%, which is far better than the state average and all nearby Los Angeles Unified schools, where rates range from 18% to over 30%. Academically, its English Language Arts proficiency of 52% exceeds the state average and is competitive with most neighbors, including higher-performing schools like Stonehurst Avenue Elementary, despite Fenton serving a similarly high-need population. However, its math scores have recently declined, and its science proficiency, at 23%, is below the state average and presents a curious contrast for a STEM-focused school.

Fenton STEM Academy demonstrates notable effectiveness with Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 70th percentile for these groups statewide. It also operates with efficient resource use, spending less per student than several nearby schools while achieving comparable or better results in key areas. A point for the school to address is a consistent performance gap where male students outperform female students by a significant margin. Compared to another school at its address, Fenton Charter Leadership Academy, it shows similar strengths with attendance and academics, suggesting a sharing of successful practices within the local Fenton network.
