Summary

Hubert H. Bancroft Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 408 students in the Sacramento City Unified district, performing in the lower-middle tier of California elementary schools with a 2-star rating.

When compared to nearby schools with similar student demographics, Bancroft performs better than expected, significantly outperforming schools like Isador Cohen Elementary and New Joseph Bonnheim (NJB) Community Charter in English and math. However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism at 32.1%, which is higher than district and state averages and is a key area affecting overall performance. The school shows notable strengths in supporting special education students but has room for improvement in supporting other student subgroups.

An interesting finding is that spending per student does not directly correlate with performance; for example, the higher-performing California Montessori Project - Capitol Campus spends less per student. Bancroft's performance has gradually declined over the past decade, and addressing the high absenteeism rate—a common trait among higher-performing local schools—could be a crucial step toward improvement. The school also shows an unusual dip in 5th-grade math scores that warrants attention.
