Summary

New Joseph Bonnheim (NJB) Community Charter is an elementary public charter school in Sacramento, California, serving 252 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Sacramento City Unified School District, which is ranked 1013 out of 1565 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its charter status and relatively high per-student spending, NJB Community Charter has consistently struggled academically. The school's students underperform compared to district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points lower. NJB Community Charter also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates than the surrounding area. When compared to nearby schools like Camellia Elementary and Phoebe A. Hearst Elementary, both of which are also part of the Sacramento City Unified School District, NJB Community Charter's performance lags behind.

The data suggests that NJB Community Charter may be facing challenges in supporting its student population, which is predominantly from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the school's high per-student spending, it has not shown significant improvement in its performance over the years, and its statewide rankings have remained in the bottom quartile. Addressing the underlying issues and implementing effective strategies to support student learning and engagement should be a priority for the school and the district.
