Summary

Empowering Possibilities International Charter (EPIC) is a K-8 charter school serving 426 students in West Sacramento, operating within its own Empowering Possibilities International Charter District and showing a recent upward trend in academic performance despite serving a population with significant economic need.

While EPIC's overall test scores are below the state average, it performs notably better than several nearby traditional public schools with similar student demographics, such as Westfield Village Elementary and Westmore Oaks Elementary, particularly in mathematics. A key strength is its exceptional effectiveness with English Language Learner students, where it ranks in the state's top quartile. The school spends significantly more per student than most surrounding schools in the Washington Unified district, which may contribute to these relative successes.

The school has faced challenges with chronic absenteeism, though the rate is improving, and shows uneven performance across grade levels, with middle grades outperforming lower grades. Compared to other local charters, EPIC sits in the middle, outperforming River Charter Schools Lighthouse Charter in math but trailing the higher-performing Sacramento Valley Charter. The data suggests EPIC is a school on an improving trajectory that has found specific areas of instructional success, especially for certain student groups, within a challenging context.
