Summary

Monarch Learning Center is a small public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Redding, California, with only 85 students.

Monarch Learning Center significantly underperforms the state and nearby schools on standardized test scores, with only 24.07% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the California average of 47.04%, and just 11.32% proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 35.54%. The school's science proficiency rates were also very low at 11.11% compared to 30.7% statewide. However, Monarch Learning Center has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 1.1%, which is significantly lower than the nearby Cypress Elementary, Manzanita Elementary, and other local schools that ranged from 14.3% to 35.0%.

Monarch Learning Center serves a high-needs student population, with 69.41% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the nearby Alta Mesa Elementary (49.52%) and Lassen View Elementary (87.83%). The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17:1, which is lower than the nearby schools that ranged from 19:1 to 24.4:1. Despite these factors, Monarch Learning Center continues to struggle, ranking in the bottom 1-2% of California elementary schools, and underperforming the Redding Elementary and Enterprise Elementary districts on academic measures.
