Summary

Natomas Park Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 745 students in Sacramento's Natomas Unified district, representing a mid-tier option within a district where school performance varies widely.

Academically, the school's test scores are below state and district averages, with about 30-31% of students proficient in English and Math. This places it above some nearby schools like H. Allen Hight Elementary and Glenwood Elementary, but significantly behind higher-performing neighbors such as Natomas Pacific Pathways Prep Elementary and Heron. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, with 28.8% of students missing too much school, a rate higher than most comparable schools and one that is closely linked to lower academic achievement in the area.

The school shows relative strengths in supporting Special Education students and English Language Learners. However, its statewide ranking has been volatile in recent years, and it operates with a higher student-teacher ratio and moderate per-student spending compared to some peers. The dramatic differences in performance between schools located very close together, like Natomas Park and the top-performing Natomas Pacific Pathways Prep just 2.36 miles away, highlight how factors within an individual school's control can create very different educational outcomes in the same community.
