Summary

Oak Ridge Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 429 students in the Sacramento City Unified district, operating in a high-needs community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 5% of California elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English (18%) and math (14%) well below district averages. A major factor is chronic absenteeism, with over 40% of students missing significant school, which is more than double the state average. While the school spends over $21,000 per student, it has the highest student-teacher ratio (28-to-1) among nearby schools, suggesting resources may not be effectively reaching the classroom. Performance varies greatly by grade, indicating inconsistent learning experiences for children as they advance.

Comparisons with nearby schools reveal a complex picture. While most area schools in the district struggle, Leonardo Da Vinci is a high-performing outlier with much lower absenteeism. Other schools like Bret Harte Elementary spend more per student with a lower student-teacher ratio. The data shows that high spending alone does not guarantee success, and factors like consistent attendance and school culture are critical. The school has shown some past effectiveness with specific student groups, like English Learners, but those gains have recently declined, pointing to a need for stable, targeted support systems.
