Rocklin Academy at Meyers Street, Rocklin CA

Original Research by School Decision on Rocklin Academy at Meyers Street

Rocklin Academy at Meyers Street was a charter school serving grades three through six in Rocklin, California. The school closed at the end of the 2022-23 school year, after operating as a small, directly funded charter elementary. Its final enrollment was small, making it a niche option within the broader Rocklin landscape before its closure.

The school's last available test results, from the 2022-23 school year, show uneven performance across grades and subjects. In mathematics, proficiency ranged from about half of third-graders meeting state standards to roughly three-quarters of fourth-graders, with fifth grade at about seventy percent and sixth grade falling back to roughly half. English language arts showed a similar pattern, with third grade around half proficient, fourth grade notably stronger at roughly eighty-five percent, fifth grade around sixty-five percent, and sixth grade at roughly sixty-three percent. Science data was available only for fifth grade, where about half the students met proficiency standards. All students tested participated fully.

The school's small enrollments in each tested grade, ranging from around fifteen to seventeen students per grade, meant that classroom-level instruction had limited scale and that year-to-year variation would reflect individual student differences rather than systemic trends. Enrollment and demographic data beyond grade counts were not available, so the composition of the student body in terms of free-or-reduced-price lunch eligibility, race and ethnicity, English learners, or students with disabilities cannot be characterized.

Before its closure, the school's operator, the Rocklin Academy Family of Schools, participated in the statewide Community Engagement Initiative and shifted its approach to parent involvement. The charter moved to rethink parent-teacher conferences, emphasizing whole-child discussions rather than report-card grades, and adopted two-way communication practices such as positive calls home and parent listening sessions. That pedagogical direction reflected a deliberate effort to deepen family engagement during a period of community growth and national political polarization.

For families now in or moving to Rocklin, this school is no longer an option. The closure marks the end of a small charter pathway that served the area. Rocklin itself is a suburban city in the Sierra Nevada foothills, roughly twenty miles northeast of Sacramento, that evolved from a granite-quarrying hub into a primarily residential and commercial community. Major employment spans education, technology services, commercial, and retail. Housing in the area reflects the broader California market, and the community has experienced rapid suburban growth over recent years.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
