Mission	The mission of Rochester STEM Academy is to provide a highly supportive learning environment for minority, immigrant and other students currently underserved in traditional area high schools and greatly underrepresented in Rochester's STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) industries through a challenging program that emphasizes creativity, accountability, ongoing assessments, college-preparation, and high academic achievement.

Desc	Rochester STEM Academy is a tuition-free public charter school serving approximately 107 students in grades 9 through 12 for the 2019-2020 school year. Rochester STEM Academy was 1 of only 2 charter school applications in the entire state to be approved in 2010 and chosen to receive a federal planning grant. It's founding board was brought together in response to the pent-up demand for an academically rigorous charter high school that could give a viable boost to Rochester's industries and children in terms of both academics and future employment.
