Summary

Charles Peck Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 303 students in Carmichael, California, within the San Juan Unified School District, and it currently faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the lowest 10% of elementary schools statewide.

The school's academic performance is well below average, with only 24% of students proficient in English and 12% proficient in math, which is lower than both the district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism, at 27%, is also higher than average. A notable finding is the dramatic difference in performance between Charles Peck and some schools very close by; for instance, Harry Dewey Fundamental Elementary (about a mile away) and Cambridge Heights Elementary (about 1.3 miles away) achieve significantly higher test scores and state rankings, showing that educational outcomes can vary greatly even within the same community.

Despite spending over $20,000 per student, which is more than some higher-performing neighboring schools, Charles Peck has not seen corresponding academic gains. The school serves a population with high economic need, and while all student subgroups struggle academically, the school has shown some effectiveness in supporting its special education students. A positive trend is the improvement in chronic absenteeism since the peak of the pandemic, though it remains an area for focus alongside the consistently low math scores across all grade levels.
