PACE Academy

Public Grades K-8

Summary

PACE Academy is a very small public elementary school serving grades K-8 with only 44 students in the Enterprise Elementary district of Redding, CA, and it stands out from nearby schools for having extremely low academic scores alongside very high per-student spending.

When compared to other local schools, the differences are stark. For example, while nearby Rother Elementary has academic proficiency rates around 40% in English and 28% in math, PACE Academy's rates are below 6%. Furthermore, over half of PACE's students are chronically absent, a rate more than double that of the next highest mainstream school in the area. Despite these challenges, the school operates with a very low student-teacher ratio and spends over $46,000 per student, which is roughly triple the amount spent at higher-performing district schools like Mistletoe Elementary and Lassen View Elementary.

This creates a puzzling situation where high resources have not led to improved academic outcomes, making PACE's profile more similar to specialized alternative programs like Redding Community Day. There are slight signs of recent improvement in attendance and test scores, but they start from such a low point that the school remains in a state of significant academic need. This suggests PACE may be serving a concentrated population of students with profound challenges, potentially requiring a specialized mission or intensive support structure different from a traditional elementary school.
