Summary

Royal Oaks STEAM Academy is a K-8 public school serving 848 students in Bradbury, CA, within the Duarte Unified School District, and it stands out as a solid, slightly above-average school with a particular strength in science and strong student attendance.

Academically, the school performs better than both its district and the state in English Language Arts and Science, a likely benefit of its STEAM focus, though its math scores are slightly below the state average. A key strength is its low chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3%, which is significantly better than other Duarte Unified schools and a positive indicator for student engagement. Within its own district, Royal Oaks STEAM Academy (K-8) is a strong middle performer, ranking well above Beardslee Dual Language Immersion Academy (Pk-8) but below the top-performing Valley View Academy of Technical and Creative Learning (Tk-6).

The school achieves these results efficiently, with lower per-student spending than many area schools, though it has a higher student-teacher ratio. Performance has been consistent in recent years, though there is room for growth in supporting specific student subgroups and in mathematics instruction. Compared to schools in neighboring districts like Azusa Unified, Royal Oaks generally performs better, and it shows similar performance to some schools in Monrovia Unified, such as Bradoaks Elementary Science Academy.
