Summary

St. HOPE Public School 7 is a K-8 elementary school serving 471 students on Strawberry Lane in Sacramento, operating as its own independent St. HOPE Public School 7 District rather than as part of the larger Sacramento City Unified system like all nearby schools.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science well below state averages, and its statewide ranking has been volatile in recent years. A primary concern is chronic absenteeism, with over half of students missing too much school, a rate far higher than the state average and nearby schools such as Leonardo Da Vinci. However, the school has improved its student-teacher ratio to 17.4, which is now lower than most neighboring schools, including Bret Harte Elementary.

When compared to other local schools, St. HOPE spends less per student but has achieved a better ratio of students to teachers. The stark performance gap with a school like Leonardo Da Vinci, which has much higher test scores and lower absenteeism just over a mile away, highlights that improvement is possible in the area. Key areas for growth include addressing the attendance crisis and implementing targeted support, especially in middle school mathematics where proficiency rates are critically low.
