Wyandotte Academy is an elementary school in Oroville, California, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. Despite being part of the Oroville City Elementary District, which is ranked 1347 out of 1568 districts in the state, Wyandotte Academy has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools.
The school's key challenges include significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state averages, as well as consistently lower test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the most recent school year, only 27.05% of Wyandotte Academy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 22.2% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Asian, Hispanic, and White students, as well as students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
Interestingly, Ophir Elementary, Stanford Avenue Elementary, and STREAM Charter, which are located relatively close to Wyandotte Academy, generally outperform the school on key metrics, suggesting that the challenges faced by Wyandotte Academy may be specific to the school itself rather than the broader geographic area. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and consistently low test scores at Wyandotte Academy indicate that the school may be facing significant challenges in areas such as student engagement, teacher quality, and resource allocation, which could be addressed through targeted interventions and support.
In the 2023-24 school year, 258 students attended Wyandotte Academy.
