Summary

Union House Elementary is a K-6 public school in Sacramento serving 795 students, operating within the Elk Grove Unified School District in an area facing significant economic challenges, with nearly 88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While its academic scores in English, math, and science are below the district and state averages, Union House consistently outperforms other nearby schools in its own district, such as John Reith Elementary, Herman Leimbach Elementary, and Charles E. Mack Elementary. The school has shown a clear, steady decade-long improvement in its statewide ranking and is particularly effective in supporting English Language Learners and students from low-income families. However, it faces a significant challenge with chronic student absenteeism, though its rate is better than several neighboring schools.

An interesting comparison is with Susan B. Anthony Elementary in the neighboring Sacramento City Unified district, which achieves higher math and science scores with a similar student population, suggesting potential for learning cross-district strategies. Despite spending less per student than most schools in the area, Union House delivers relatively stronger results within its immediate community, indicating efficient use of resources and a positive trajectory of growth.
