Summary

Matsuyama Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-6 public school serving 435 students in the Sacramento City Unified district, ranking in the top 20% of all California elementary schools.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, with over 60% of students proficient in both English and Math—significantly higher than the district and state averages. This performance is even more impressive when compared to many nearby schools, such as Caroline Wenzel Elementary and John D. Sloat Elementary, where proficiency rates are much lower. Matsuyama also excels in supporting specific student groups, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide for its special education students and the 92nd percentile for Hispanic students, demonstrating highly effective support systems.

Other key strengths include a low chronic absenteeism rate of 12%, which is less than half the district average, and a steady record of improvement over the past decade. While a top-performing neighbor like Genevieve Didion scores slightly higher academically, Matsuyama achieves its excellent results while serving a student population with greater economic needs, making its consistent 4-star rating and efficient use of resources particularly notable for families in the area.
