Summary

Rosa Parks Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 722 students in Sacramento, part of the Sacramento City Unified district, which has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing schools in California for the past decade.

Academic performance at the school is significantly below both district and state averages, with only 15.7% of students proficient in English and 8.4% in math; these rates are far lower than nearby schools like Pony Express Elementary (50.8% English, 44.7% math) and the charter school Capitol Collegiate Academy (44.3% English, 31.8% math), despite serving a similarly high-needs student population. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism, with 28% of students missing significant school time, though this is an improvement from previous years and the school benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio and funding comparable to higher-performing schools in the area.

Notable challenges include extreme inconsistency in performance across grade levels, such as math proficiency dropping sharply in 4th and 5th grades, and low performance across all student subgroups. The persistent underperformance, even compared to similar schools in the same district, suggests deep-rooted challenges that go beyond resources, though recent improvements in attendance may provide a foundation for future academic progress.
