Summary:
The Language Academy of Sacramento District contains a single school, The Language Academy of Sacramento, a K-8 elementary school serving 615 students with a specialized dual-language immersion model.
This school shows distinct strengths in its environment and specific academic areas. It excels in maintaining student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate nearly half the state average, suggesting a positive and engaging school culture. Academically, its mathematics performance meets the state average, which is a notable achievement, and its Spanish language program is particularly effective in developing students' listening and writing skills above state averages. A promising trend shows that students in the middle school grades (6-8) often perform at or above state averages in English and math, indicating the program's benefits may compound over time.
Areas for attention include overall English Language Arts and Science proficiency, which lag behind state averages, contributing to the school's ranking in the lower half of California schools. This presents a focus for the school as it works to align its significant per-student spending and strong attendance with broader core academic outcomes. The school's unique model delivers clear value in bilingual skills and student engagement, with the middle school performance indicating strong potential for student growth.
