Community Outreach Academy

Public, Charter, Alternative Grades K-12

Summary

Community Outreach Academy is an alternative K–12 school in McClellan, California, with 1,931 students, and is part of the Community Outreach Academy District. In 2024–2025, 36% of students were proficient in English language arts, 33% in math and 26% in science, compared with 49%, 37% and 33% statewide, respectively. The most important takeaway is that results were below California’s in all three subjects, with math the school’s strongest relative result and ELA its largest gap from the state.

Math stands out most when comparing the school with nearby schools that reported scores: its 33% proficiency was about 12 percentage points above their average of 21%, placing it fifth among nine schools in the comparison. In ELA, the school was also fifth of nine, but its 36% result was essentially even with the nearby-school average. Science proficiency was 26%, somewhat above the nearby-school average. Fourth-grade math was a notable bright spot: 41% of students were proficient, the highest among nearby schools reporting that grade, though still below California’s 42%. By contrast, eighth-grade ELA was 30%, about 18 points below the state rate. No comparable test-score benchmarks are supplied for the district, so a district-to-school score gap cannot be assessed.

Scores have improved over the three years shown, especially in math: from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, proficiency rose by 4 percentage points in ELA, 8 in math and 2 in science. The school-state gap narrowed by 1 point in ELA and 5 points in math, while science remained below the state and its gap widened by 1 point. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 26% in 2022–2023 to 14% in 2024–2025, when it was 5 points below California’s rate. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 24.6, and 74% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—lower than at most nearby schools with the same measure, but still a substantial share. SchoolDigger rank and star rating were not supplied.
