Shared campus · © OpenStreetMap
ATLAS Learning Academy and Phoenix High (Continuation) share this address in the state’s school directory. OpenStreetMap maps the grounds as one campus. Which buildings each school uses here isn’t mapped.
Drawn from OpenStreetMap. Volunteers map it, so a new building may be missing. Buildings with no mapped height are drawn one storey high.
A picture of the campus, not an attendance boundary or a rating.
Schools maintain a closed campus policy. For students’ safety, visitors may enter a campus only with the school’s official permission; this drawing implies no permission to enter.
Only 11 students were tested here in grade 8 in spring 2026, so one student’s result moves each rate by about 9 points.

California is CDE’s statewide math row for each grade, counting every student tested there; the comparisons in the chapters combine these rows for their grades, weighted by students tested (our calculation).
A grade the school doesn't teach has no row. “Suppressed” marks a result CDE blanks because fewer than 11 students tested (CDE’s reporting rule); “none tested” marks a grade CDE lists with no students tested; “not on file” marks a result missing from the records we hold. None of them means zero.

In grade 8, the share at the state’s top two levels in English was 45% in 2026. In math, it was 18% in 2026. Each year is a different group of students.

What you can do
Western Placer Unified’s board decides ATLAS Learning Academy’s plan.
The state hasn’t placed ATLAS Learning Academy in a support program. Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source
The state is giving Western Placer Unified extra help in 2026. It qualified on the 2025 and 2026 California School Dashboards. The 2026 Dashboard flagged results for students with disabilities on two measures: English, and math. The county office must help the district for at least three years, including a review of its yearly plan.
Extra help for Western Placer Unified: CDE’s assistance status files for the 2025 and 2026 California School Dashboards. Source
Western Placer Unified’s board must adopt its yearly plan (LCAP) by July 1, after at least one public hearing at an earlier meeting.
How to take part
California law requires schools to screen kindergartners through second graders for reading difficulties every year, with some exceptions. You get notice at least 15 days before, results within 45 days, and can opt out in writing.
Kindergartners can’t be screened before the 91st school day; transitional kindergarten isn’t covered.
If screening shows your child may be at risk for reading difficulties, the school must provide supports. That result isn’t a diagnosis, and screening can’t be used to delay a special-education evaluation.
Ask how many K–2 students screening found at risk last year, and how many got extra reading help.

Source: CDE college-going records, class of 2023. Shares are our arithmetic: each count divided by all high-school completers (graduates and other students who finished), rounded together so they total 100. “Not enrolled” does not describe employment, military service or other routes.
That means no student missed 10% or more of school days. At the average Western Placer Unified middle school, 9 in 100 were. 0 of 147 students were suspended at least once in 2025–26, against 3.7% at the average California middle school.

Ask: When a child starts missing school, who calls the family, and how soon?
Ask current families how the school keeps them informed, and what happened when their child needed help. Ask staff how long teachers tend to stay.

Index is where the school's value sits among the California middle schools we score, from 0 to 100, where 50 is their average; it is not a percentile. School values are from 2025–26. Chronic absence and suspension are CDE's all-students school rates; the score uses an adjusted version of each that pulls small schools toward the average, so their index can sit nearer 50 than the rate suggests. The weights above add to 75%: the remaining 25%, for measures with no value here, is shared out among the measures above.
