Summary

Redding Collegiate Academy is a K-12 alternative school serving 219 students in Redding, California, within the Enterprise Elementary school district, and it stands out for its exceptionally strong student attendance and graduation rates.

The school creates a remarkably consistent and supportive environment, evidenced by a near-perfect 100% graduation rate and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.8%, which is dramatically lower than both the district and state averages and far better than nearby schools like Gateway Educational Options (52.2%). Academically, the school excels in English Language Arts (ELA), with 60% of students proficient, outperforming the district and state and schools such as Evergreen Institute of Excellence and Northern Summit Academy Shasta. Its 7th grade is a particular standout, achieving 84.21% proficiency in ELA.

An area for growth is mathematics, where proficiency is 34.78%, a pattern common among local alternative schools, though the school still spends more per student than most of its peers. It's important for parents to note the school's higher student-teacher ratio of 26.9:1 compared to similar schools, which may impact classroom dynamics. Overall, Redding Collegiate Academy is a compelling option that successfully supports student persistence and literacy, especially for families prioritizing a strong attendance culture and graduation success.
