Summary

Hazel Strauch Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 650 students in Sacramento's Twin Rivers Unified School District, standing out for its strong academic growth in a high-needs community.

This school is a notable success story within its district, performing significantly better than many nearby schools like Del Paso Heights Elementary and Las Palmas Elementary. It excels in teaching English language learners and students from low-income families, achieving results that rank in the top quartile of the state for these groups. While the school's test scores are above the Twin Rivers Unified average, it faces a significant challenge with chronic student absenteeism, which is higher than at neighboring schools such as Garden Valley Elementary.

Hazel Strauch has shown impressive improvement, rising in statewide ranking over the past few years. It achieves these outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than other schools in its district. The school is particularly strong in the upper grades, with sixth graders performing exceptionally well. Parents should note that while the school outperforms others in Twin Rivers Unified, its performance is more mixed when compared to some schools in neighboring districts like Natomas Unified.
