Summary

Orangevale Open K-8 is a public K-8 school serving 593 students in Fair Oaks, part of the San Juan Unified district, and it consistently ranks as a strong, above-average performer in the state.

The school stands out for its solid academic results, significantly outperforming both its district and the state in English, math, and science, while also maintaining much lower chronic absenteeism than nearby schools. It achieves these outcomes very efficiently, spending considerably less per student than other local schools like Trajan Elementary and Kingswood K-8. The school has maintained its 4-star performance even as the number of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch has increased, and it shows particular strength in supporting Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While performing well, the school has some areas for growth, such as a dip in middle-grade math scores and a performance gap between male and female students. Compared to the highest-performing nearby school, Pershing Elementary, Orangevale Open is slightly lower academically but operates with less funding. Overall, it is a consistently reliable school within its district, demonstrating effective strategies for student engagement and academic success relative to its resources.
