Summary

O. W. Erlewine Elementary is a public elementary school in Sacramento, CA, serving 283 students in grades K-6 and part of the Sacramento City Unified School District. While the school faces some academic challenges, it also shows bright spots and provides insights into the broader educational landscape in the area.

Academically, O. W. Erlewine Elementary generally performs below the district and state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as in CAST Science assessments. However, the school does have some positive outliers, such as 5th-grade students outperforming the district and state in ELA in recent years. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 33.0%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.12% to 68.55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, when comparing O. W. Erlewine Elementary to nearby schools within the same district, such as Hubert H. Bancroft Elementary and Sequoia Elementary, they also struggle with academic performance and face similar challenges. However, schools outside the Sacramento City Unified District, like Mariemont Elementary and Del Dayo Elementary in the San Juan Unified District, significantly outperform O. W. Erlewine Elementary and the other nearby schools in academic assessments.
