Summary

Albert Schweitzer Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 331 students in Carmichael, California, within the San Juan Unified School District, and its academic performance has been on a concerning downward trend over the past decade.

The school's test scores in English, math, and science are below state averages, and it ranks in the 34th percentile among all California elementary schools. A significant challenge is chronic student absenteeism, which at 22.3% is higher than the state average. The school serves a population where a majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Notably, the school spends more per student than several higher-performing nearby schools like Cambridge Heights Elementary and Mary Deterding Elementary, which rank in the 78th and 76th percentiles respectively within the same district.

Despite overall challenges, the school shows a relative strength in mathematics, where its scores are actually above the district average. There is also wide variation in performance among schools in the area, with Riverview STEM Elementary in a neighboring district ranking in the 99th percentile, while other San Juan Unified schools like Coyle Avenue Elementary rank lower than Albert Schweitzer. This suggests school-specific factors play a major role in student outcomes.
