Summary

Competitive Edge Charter Academy (CECA) is a K–8 charter school in Yucaipa, serving 717 students in the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District. Its 2025–2026 test results were strong across subjects, with proficiency above both the state and district in ELA, math, and science. The most important finding is that CECA outperformed both benchmarks in all three subjects.

CECA is among the strongest nearby schools, though Mariposa Elementary had higher ELA and math results. CECA’s proficiency was 67% in ELA and 51% in math, ranking second among nearby schools with current scores; its 52% in science was the highest. Against state results, CECA was ahead by 18 percentage points in ELA, 13 in math, and 16 in science; its leads over the district were 24, 20, and 20 points. Sixth grade is a relative weak spot within CECA: results ranged from 60% to 73% across grades in ELA and from 37% in sixth-grade math to 60% in fifth-grade math.

Results have improved overall since 2022–2023, with math showing the clearest gain: ELA rose 1 percentage point, math rose 7 points, and science was effectively flat. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling 7 points from 2021–2022 to 2025–2026; the latest rate was 4%, compared with 20% in the district and 18% statewide. SchoolDigger ranked CECA 1,311th of 5,804 schools, at the 77th percentile with 4 stars; nearby Mariposa ranked higher, at the 85th percentile. CECA’s student-teacher ratio was 21.6 in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools with reported figures. That year, 37% of CECA students were free/reduced lunch eligible; this is a reported school measure, not an explanation for academic results. Nearby schools vary in grade span and enrollment, so comparisons are most useful when viewed alongside those differences.
