Summary

Feaster (Mae L.) Charter is a K-8 school serving about 1,100 students in Chula Vista, operating as its own independent charter district.

The school has faced academic challenges, with its statewide ranking declining over recent years; test scores in math and science are below state averages, though it shows a notable strength in English for its 7th and 8th graders. However, Feaster excels in one critical area: student attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 7.1% is dramatically lower than the state average and far better than nearby schools like Kimball (24.2%) and Howard Gardner Community Charter (37.7%), indicating strong family engagement and a positive school climate.

Compared to other local schools, Feaster operates with a favorable student-teacher ratio and spends less per student than some neighbors while achieving similar or better results. It has shown historical effectiveness with English learners and homeless students, though support for special education has been inconsistent. When compared to schools with similar student populations, such as Hilltop Drive Elementary in the higher-performing Chula Vista Elementary district, Feaster's outcomes suggest that its specific programs and practices are key factors in student success.
