Summary:
This analysis focuses on the single elementary school, Growth Public, a K-8 school serving 300 students within the Growth Public District in Sacramento, a district ranked in the middle of all California districts.
Growth Public shows notable strengths and challenges in its academic performance. While the school's sixth-grade English Language Arts scores exceed the state average, overall proficiency in English, math, and science is below state averages, with fifth-grade math and science being particular areas for improvement. The school's statewide ranking has been volatile in recent years, currently holding a 2-star rating.
A key finding is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 26.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average and is a critical concern as attendance strongly impacts learning. The school spends above the national average per student, but operates with a higher-than-recommended student-teacher ratio. For parents, this indicates a school with dedicated resources and some academic bright spots, but one where supporting consistent student attendance and addressing specific grade-level learning gaps would be central to future improvement.
