Summary

California Montessori Project - Elk Grove Campus is a steadily improving public charter school serving about 575 students from kindergarten through 8th grade in the Elk Grove area, offering a unique K-8 Montessori program that provides continuity through the middle school years.

The school has shown consistent growth in its statewide ranking over the past several years and currently performs solidly above the state average, with particular strengths in science education. It generally outperforms some of its closest neighboring schools like James A. McKee Elementary and Florence Markofer Elementary, while performing comparably to others like Ellen Feickert Elementary. However, there is a noticeable performance gap when compared to the highest-achieving traditional public schools in the wider area, such as Zehnder Ranch Elementary and Edna Batey Elementary.

An interesting finding is the school's cost efficiency, as it achieves its outcomes with significantly lower per-student spending than nearby traditional schools in the Elk Grove Unified district. Parents should note that while the school serves its student population effectively overall, performance can vary significantly by grade level in subjects like math, and chronic absenteeism is an area identified for potential improvement. The school operates as its own district.
