Summary

REACH Leadership STEAM Academy is a public K-6 elementary school in Riverside, CA, serving 645 students as its own independent district and standing out as a mid-performing, STEAM-focused school in an area with widely varying school quality.

The school earns a consistent 3-star rating, placing it in the 58th percentile statewide, which is notable in a neighborhood where some schools like Harada Elementary and Longfellow Elementary struggle with much lower ratings. REACH achieves these results while serving a population where over half the students are economically disadvantaged, and it does so with fewer resources and higher student-teacher ratios than many nearby schools, suggesting efficient operations. Its academic model appears effective, as it outperforms its host Riverside Unified district and the neighboring Moreno Valley Unified district.

While REACH has shown strengths, its statewide ranking has declined from the 75th percentile a few years ago, and test scores vary significantly by grade, with 5th-grade math being a particular concern. On a positive note, the school has made excellent progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, bringing it below the state average. Compared to schools with similar student demographics, such as Bryant Elementary or Patricia Beatty Elementary, REACH generally achieves stronger academic outcomes.
