Summary:
The NextGeneration STEAM Academy District is home to a single elementary school, NextGeneration STEAM Academy, which serves students from preschool through 8th grade. The school is a standout performer in the district, ranking in the top 22% of all schools in California and earning a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
NextGeneration STEAM Academy consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels. The school's ELA proficiency rates range from 46.34% to 60.23%, compared to the state averages of 42.8% to 47.19%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 38.38% to 56.63%, compared to the state averages of 31.57% to 45.64%. However, the school's science proficiency rates, as measured by the CAST assessment, are slightly below the state average.
While the school's academic performance is commendable, its chronic absenteeism rate of 24.5% is higher than the state average. Additionally, 36.3% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Despite these challenges, the school has demonstrated a trend of continuous improvement, with its ranking and star rating improving over the past three years, likely due to its strong focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education.
