Summary

Stellar Charter is a K-12 alternative public school serving 273 students in Redding, California, and it stands out for its strong academic results and exceptional student attendance.

The school consistently outperforms both the Redding Elementary district and the state in English, math, and science tests. A major strength is its remarkably low rate of chronic absenteeism—just 2.5% of students, which is far better than the district and state averages and likely a key reason for its academic success. While the school serves a student population with a moderate level of economic need, it achieves these outcomes with efficient per-student spending compared to some nearby alternatives like Redding Collegiate Academy.

When compared to other local alternative schools, Stellar Charter's model is particularly effective in the elementary grades, where proficiency rates are very high. However, like several area schools, it faces a challenge with 11th-grade math scores. Recent graduation rates have shown some variability, dipping to 88.2% after previous years at 100%, which is an area to watch compared to schools like Evergreen Institute of Excellence that maintained a perfect rate. Overall, Stellar Charter demonstrates that an alternative education can deliver quality results, especially when students are consistently present and engaged.
