Summary

Tahoe Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 319 students in the Sacramento City Unified district, consistently ranking in the lower quarter of California elementary schools.

Academically, student proficiency in English, math, and science is significantly below district and state averages, though the school shows a relative strength in serving its Special Education students. Compared to nearby schools, Tahoe's performance is in the middle of the pack—it outperforms schools like Oak Ridge Elementary and Father Keith B. Kenny but trails behind others such as Phoebe A. Hearst Elementary, a top-performing school less than a mile away. Tahoe has a more favorable student-teacher ratio than most neighbors and spends more per student, yet these resources have not translated to higher academic outcomes.

Notable challenges include a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average, though it has improved recently. The school also shows uneven performance across grade levels, with 4th-grade math scores being particularly low. While Tahoe serves a less economically disadvantaged population than many surrounding schools, its academic results lag behind some with similar demographics, like The Language Academy of Sacramento, indicating that factors beyond funding and class size are influencing student achievement.
