Summary

Las Palmas Elementary is a large public K-6 school serving about 1,000 students in Sacramento's Twin Rivers Unified district, operating in a community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school is on an upward trend, recently improving its statewide ranking and outperforming the district average in mathematics. It shows particular strengths in supporting English Language Learners and has made extraordinary progress in reducing chronic student absences, now performing better in this area than nearly all nearby schools like D. W. Babcock Elementary and Northwood Elementary. However, performance varies significantly by grade, with standout results in 4th grade but notable challenges in 5th and 6th grades.

When compared to a higher-performing neighbor like Hazel Strauch Elementary, which achieves stronger academic results with similar student demographics and fewer resources, it highlights an area for potential growth. The school's main opportunities include creating more consistent learning experiences across all grade levels and addressing specific academic support needs for different student groups to continue its promising recovery.
