Summary

Grand Oaks Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 348 students in Citrus Heights, part of the San Juan Unified School District, which faces broader academic challenges across the area.

Academically, the school struggles significantly, with fewer than a quarter of students meeting state standards in English and Math, placing it in the bottom 12% of California schools. This performance is lower than most nearby schools in the same district, such as Lichen K-8 and Woodside K-8. A notable bright spot is its special education program, which performs above average. However, the school has a high rate of chronic student absenteeism, though this has improved recently from much higher levels.

Perhaps the most striking finding is the performance gap between districts. Schools just a few miles away in the Dry Creek Joint Elementary and Roseville City Elementary districts, like Creekview Ranch and Olive Grove Elementary, achieve proficiency rates two to three times higher, despite similar student demographics and often lower per-student spending. Grand Oaks spends over $22,600 per student, which is more than most comparison schools, yet yields among the lowest academic outcomes in the region.
