Sierra Foothill Charter District


Summary:

The Sierra Foothill Charter District in California contains a single public charter elementary school, Sierra Foothill Charter, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school has some areas of strong academic performance, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in certain grade levels for English Language Arts, it also faces significant challenges, including low proficiency rates in Mathematics for 5th grade students and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.3%.

Sierra Foothill Charter's academic performance is inconsistent, with test scores varying significantly by grade level and subject. The school performed above the state average in 4th and 6th grade English Language Arts, but below the state average in 3rd grade English Language Arts and all grade levels for Mathematics. This suggests the school may need to focus on more consistent and equitable academic outcomes for all students. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 1,773 out of 5,874 California elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 2,626 out of 5,862 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Socioeconomic challenges may also be a factor in Sierra Foothill Charter's performance, as over 40% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. Addressing the root causes of the school's high chronic absenteeism rate should also be a priority for the Sierra Foothill Charter District leadership. Overall, while Sierra Foothill Charter has some areas of strength, it faces significant academic and attendance-related challenges that will require a focused effort to improve student outcomes.
