Summary

Morrice Schaefer Charter is a public K-6 charter school serving 304 students in Santa Rosa, operating within the Morrice Schaefer Charter District and facing significant academic challenges with proficiency rates well below state averages.

When compared to nearby schools with similar high levels of economic need, such as Steele Lane Elementary or Helen M. Lehman Elementary in the Santa Rosa Elementary district, Morrice Schaefer's academic results are notably stronger, suggesting its charter model provides some advantage in a challenging context. However, it has not matched the success of other local charter schools like Village Charter, which achieves much higher scores with lower spending, or the consistent performance of schools in the Mark West Union Elementary district like John B. Riebli Elementary.

The school's performance has been volatile, with recent sharp declines in its statewide ranking and in outcomes for key student subgroups, raising concerns about consistency. While chronic absenteeism has improved, it remains higher than at top-performing schools. The analysis suggests Morrice Schaefer is at a crossroads, with demonstrated potential but a clear need for more stable, targeted support in areas like attendance and curriculum alignment to match the success of higher-performing neighbors.
