of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 3% of California elementary schools

Summary

Greer Elementary is a large public school serving 762 students in grades K-5 in Sacramento's San Juan Unified School District, operating in a high-need environment where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Greer faces significant challenges, with its test scores in English, math, and science ranking in the bottom 3% of all California schools and far below both district and state averages. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 41.9%—more than double the district average—which severely impacts learning. While per-student spending is comparable to other schools in the San Juan Unified district, academic outcomes are the lowest among nearby schools, including Sierra Oaks K-8, Mariemont Elementary, and Thomas Edison Language Institute K-8.

Interesting comparisons show that schools very close to Greer have dramatically different results, such as Caleb Greenwood Elementary in the Sacramento City Unified district and the charter school Gateway International, which serve similar student populations but achieve much higher proficiency. This suggests that the challenges at Greer are complex, involving attendance, consistent academic support, and possibly the school's large size, requiring comprehensive solutions rather than simple fixes.
