Summary

Charles E. Mack Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 840 students in Sacramento's Elk Grove Unified district, which is generally above average, though the school itself has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools.

The school faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency in English, math, and science well below district and state averages, and a high rate of chronic absenteeism at 31.2%. However, it's important to note that this attendance rate is actually the lowest among several nearby Elk Grove Unified schools like Herman Leimbach Elementary and Samuel Kennedy Elementary, indicating a broader regional issue. A notable comparison is with Union House Elementary, located less than a mile away, which achieves better academic results with a very similar student population, showing that improvement is possible in the same community context.

Performance varies considerably across different student groups and grade levels, with fourth grade showing relative strength while sixth grade struggles, suggesting areas for targeted support. While per-student spending is comparable to other district schools, it is lower than in neighboring Sacramento City Unified schools like Parkway Elementary, which generally see worse outcomes. The school's decade-long pattern of low rankings points to systemic challenges, but its relative success in managing attendance and serving some student subgroups indicates potential foundations to build upon for future improvement.
