Summary

Shasta Charter Academy is a public charter high school serving 283 students in grades 9-12 in Redding, operating under its own Shasta Charter Academy District and consistently earning a 4-star rating with strong graduation rates and remarkably low chronic absenteeism.

The school stands out for its exceptional student attendance, with a near-perfect 0.0% chronic absenteeism rate that far surpasses the state average and nearby schools like Enterprise High (25.2%) and Central Valley High (24.6%). It achieves strong academic outcomes, particularly in English and Science, and maintains a graduation rate above 90% while operating with lower per-student spending than many comparable schools in the area. This model shows particular strength in supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, contrasting with other local alternative programs like California Heritage Youthbuild Academy II.

While Shasta Charter Academy excels in many areas, its mathematics proficiency, though above the state average, is an area for potential growth when compared to some local schools such as Shasta High. Overall, it represents a highly effective and efficient educational option in Redding, successfully serving a diverse student population with high attendance, strong graduation rates, and commendable academic performance.
