Summary

Earl Warren Elementary is a public elementary school in Sacramento, California, serving 417 students in grades K-6 and part of the Sacramento City Unified School District.

While Earl Warren Elementary's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform well, the school consistently lags behind Sacramento City Unified and California state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science. The school's proficiency rates in 2024-2025 were 42.06% in ELA and 41.95% in Math, compared to 40.52% and 31.47% for the district, and 48.81% and 37.3% for the state. Additionally, Earl Warren Elementary has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 30.0% in recent years, and a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 88.94% to 91.98% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the same district, such as Tahoe Elementary, Nicholas Elementary, and Ethel I. Baker Elementary, also perform significantly below the district and state averages, while Camellia Elementary, also within the same district, outperforms Earl Warren Elementary and the district/state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that there are significant disparities in academic performance even within the same school district, which may be influenced by factors such as student demographics and school resources.
