Summary

Leonardo Da Vinci is a consistently high-performing K-8 elementary school serving 822 students in the Sacramento City Unified district, maintaining a 4-star rating for seven straight years and ranking in the 83rd-84th percentile statewide.

The school excels in several key areas that set it apart from many neighbors: its students score significantly above district and state averages in English, math, and science, and it maintains an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.4%, a stark contrast to nearby schools like John Cabrillo Elementary (34.2%) and Father Keith B. Kenny (44.0%). It achieves these strong outcomes cost-effectively, spending less per student than several surrounding schools while effectively supporting diverse student groups, including those from low-income backgrounds.

While not the absolute top performer in the area—that distinction goes to Crocker/Riverside Elementary—Leonardo Da Vinci delivers its high results with a more economically diverse student population. The school's steady improvement over time and its management of the strong local correlation between good attendance and high achievement suggest effective practices that struggling nearby schools, such as Hollywood Park Elementary and Oak Ridge Elementary, could potentially learn from.
