Summary

Santa Rosa Road Academic Academy is a K–5 school in Atascadero, serving 377 students in Atascadero Unified. Its 2025–26 results were below both the state and district in English language arts (ELA), math and science. Most notably, among five nearby same-district K–5 schools with reported results, it had the lowest all-grade scores in every subject.

Science is the clearest weakness compared with all three reference groups: the school’s proficiency was 15%, versus 36% statewide, 41% in the district and a 43% average among nearby peers. ELA was 35%, compared with 49% statewide, 51% in the district and a nearby-school average of 48%; math was 25%, versus 38%, 39% and 45%, respectively. Fourth grade is a relative bright spot: ELA proficiency was 49% and math was 46%, both above state results, though below district results. Fifth grade was much weaker, at 31% in ELA and 13% in math; both figures were below every nearby peer with reported fifth-grade results.

Results have fallen over four years, especially in science: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA declined 10 percentage points, math 13 points and science 21 points, while state results increased in all three subjects. ELA and math edged up in the latest year, but science fell 10 points. SchoolDigger places the school at the 27th percentile statewide, with 1 star and a rank of 4,212 out of 5,804; its percentile was 59 in 2022–23.
