Summary

Caliber: Beta Academy is a K-8 public school serving 971 students in San Pablo, operating as its own district and showing notable strengths in science and attendance despite serving a community with significant economic need.

The school's standout achievement is its strong science program, where student proficiency significantly outpaces the state average, and its dramatic improvement in reducing chronic absenteeism to a rate now better than the state and most nearby schools like Montalvin Manor Elementary and Shannon Elementary. While math scores remain an area for growth, the school consistently outperforms other local schools with similar student populations, such as Highland Elementary and Bayview Elementary, in core subjects. It also shows particular effectiveness in supporting English Language Learners and African American students.

Compared to other charters, it performs better than Aspire Richmond Technology Academy, though the highest-performing nearby school is West County Mandarin. The school's higher per-student funding and autonomy as its own district, compared to schools in the larger West Contra Costa Unified district, likely contribute to its ability to achieve these results. Performance improves in upper grades, especially in English Language Arts, suggesting a curriculum that builds effectively over time.
