SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 22% of California elementary schools

Summary

St. HOPE Public School 7 is an elementary school serving 471 students in grades K–8 in Sacramento, California. Its results are mixed: English language arts (ELA) is a relative strength among nearby schools, while math is a clear weakness. The most urgent finding is chronic absenteeism: in 2024–2025, 52% of students were chronically absent, compared with 19% statewide, a gap of 32 percentage points; the school rate had improved from 60% the year before but remained more than twice the state rate.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject locally, while math is its weakest. In 2024–2025, 36% of students were proficient in ELA—higher than eight of 10 nearby schools and above their 26% average, but 13 points below the state and 5 below the district. Math proficiency was 13%, the third-lowest result among 11 nearby schools and below their 21% average; it was also 25 points below the state and 19 below the district. Science proficiency was 11%, below the state at 33%, the district at 27%, and the nearby-school average of 15%; locally, the school ranked seventh of 11.

Progress has been uneven. From 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, ELA proficiency rose by 7 percentage points and its gap with the state narrowed from 18 to 13 points; math was essentially unchanged, and science rose by 1 point while its gap with the state widened. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking improved from the 5th percentile and zero stars in 2023–2024 to the 22nd percentile and one star in 2024–2025, placing the school among the stronger performers in its nearby group despite a low statewide percentile. Its student-teacher ratio was 17.4, the lowest among nearby schools. In 2024–2025, 87% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also showed stronger statewide standing than the overall ranking: African American students were at the 45th percentile and Hispanic students at the 38th, compared with 22 overall; the Hispanic ranking rose from the 10th percentile the year before.
