Summary:
The Language Academy of Sacramento District contains one elementary school, The Language Academy of Sacramento, a K-8 school serving 615 students that specializes in bilingual education.
This school demonstrates significant strengths in student engagement and its specialized mission. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 11.0% is remarkably low, nearly half the state average, indicating a positive and supportive school environment. As a language academy, it excels in teaching Spanish, with student proficiency in Spanish listening and writing notably exceeding California averages. Furthermore, while the school's overall math performance meets the state average, its achievement is noteworthy given that over 70% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
The most important pattern in the data shows a dramatic academic turnaround by middle school. While early-grade English Language Arts scores are well below average, students in grades 6, 7, and 8 perform at or above state standards in both ELA and Math. This suggests the school's educational model builds strong foundational skills over time. Parents should note the school's overall state ranking is in the 43rd percentile, but this figure may not fully capture its success in fostering engagement, bilingualism, and impressive middle-school readiness.
