AeroSTEM Academy

Public, Charter Grades 5-12

Summary

AeroSTEM Academy is a small public high school serving 116 students in grades 5-12 in Yuba City, California, with a specialized focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

The school's STEM focus shows clear results in science, where student proficiency significantly outpaces both the state average and nearby comprehensive high schools like River Valley High and Yuba City High. Its performance in English Language Arts is also solid, meeting or exceeding local peers. However, mathematics proficiency is an area for improvement, as it trails the state average. The school, part of the AeroSTEM Academy District, spends more per student than most surrounding schools, but faces a significant challenge with chronic student absenteeism, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to other smaller, specialized schools in the area, such as Feather River Academy or Thomas E. Mathews Community, AeroSTEM demonstrates stronger academic outcomes and lower chronic absenteeism. A notable comparison is with Marysville Charter Academy for the Arts, a school of similar size that spends less per student, has much lower absenteeism, and shows higher academic performance, highlighting factors beyond funding that influence success. Overall, AeroSTEM Academy effectively serves its specialized mission but has key areas to address to improve student outcomes.
