Summary

Wheatland Charter Academy is a small, high-performing K-5 elementary school serving 89 students on Beale Air Force Base, and it stands out as a top-ranked school in the 92nd percentile statewide.

Academically, the school excels, with nearly 79% of students proficient in English and over 64% proficient in math, significantly outperforming both the Wheatland district and state averages. This success is even more notable when compared to other local schools like Wheatland Elementary and those in the Marysville Joint Unified district, which have much lower proficiency rates. The school has shown remarkable, consistent improvement over the past 15 years and is exceptionally strong in supporting military-connected students, ranking in the state's top 95th percentile for that group.

Key factors contributing to this environment include very low chronic absenteeism at 7.4% and high per-student spending. While spending is substantial, the school's results are strong compared to others with similar funding, like Sheridan Elementary. The school's charter model within the Wheatland district appears to be a significant differentiator, achieving far better outcomes than its traditional district counterparts with similar resources.
