Team Charter Academy

Team Charter Academy, located at 540 East Main Street in Downtown Stockton, CA 95202, serves students in grades 6 through 8. The school enrolls about 172 students, and the student–teacher ratio is approximately 20:1. The gender mix is about 50% male and 50% female. Based on the most recent statewide assessment results available, roughly 8% of students are proficient in math and 26% are proficient in reading. Functioning as a charter middle grade campus within the Stockton Unified School District framework, Team Charter Academy emphasizes leadership development and integrates a curriculum that includes STEAM elements and social-emotional learning to broaden academic exposure beyond core instruction. Rather than drawing solely from one neighborhood, the school’s downtown location means its students come from a mix of Stockton residential pockets and adjacent community areas, giving it an urban profile distinct from larger neighborhood junior highs. In the Stockton downtown and North Stockton housing market near the campus, detached single-family homes commonly list near $340,000, offering a snapshot of nearby residential values. Team Charter Academy is included among local middle schools in California that serve a small charter grade span with an emphasis on leadership and STEAM-aligned pathways.

In late January 2026, Mr. Peace spoke to students at both the Main Campus and Bianchi Academy as a guest speaker for Team Charter Academy. The sessions took place on each campus and covered leadership development, the theme of turning passion into purpose, and ways to use music and stories to make the school culture more positive. The assemblies were set up to give students at both sites structured character education programming.
