REACH Leadership STEAM Academy District

The REACH Leadership STEAM Academy District is home to a single elementary public charter school, REACH Leadership STEAM Academy, which serves grades K-6. This standout school has consistently outperformed the state average in academic assessments, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science.

REACH Leadership STEAM Academy's academic performance is a key strength, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average in 4 out of 6 grade-level ELA assessments and 4 out of 5 grade-level Math assessments in the 2023-2024 school year. The school also outperformed the state average in the CAST Science assessment, with 37.36% of students scoring proficient or better compared to the state average of 30.7%. Additionally, the school has maintained a relatively high statewide ranking among California elementary schools, placing in the top 40% in 2021-2022 and the top 36% in 2022-2023.

While REACH Leadership STEAM Academy's academic achievements are impressive, the school faces some challenges, including a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 27.8% and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 53.04% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education appears to be paying off, as evidenced by its strong performance in science assessments.
