California Montessori Project - Capitol Campus

Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

California Montessori Project - Capitol Campus is a K–8 school in Sacramento with 417 students, serving families in an area with several nearby elementary and K–8 schools. In 2024–2025, its all-grades proficiency rates were 54% in English language arts (ELA), 46% in math and 49% in science—above California’s rates in all three subjects. Its clearest strength is science: the school was 17 percentage points above the state.

The school performed strongly against nearby schools, though Phoebe A. Hearst Elementary scored higher in each subject. Compared with the average for the two nearby K–8 schools with results, Gateway International and Sierra Oaks K-8, Capitol Campus was ahead by 14 points in ELA, 16 in math and 18 in science. Its results were also above the 2024–2025 figures for Sacramento City Unified by 13 points in ELA, 14 in math and 23 in science, but that is a reference comparison, not its own district. Test results for the school’s district, California Montessori Project - Capitol Campus District, were not provided.

Science and math have improved, while ELA has slipped: from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, science rose 16 percentage points and math rose 6, while ELA fell 2; the school’s ELA advantage over the state narrowed from 9 points to 5. SchoolDigger ranked Capitol Campus in the 69th percentile with 3 stars in 2024–2025, second among 11 nearby schools with rankings, and its percentile has been steady at 69 for the last two years. Its student-teacher ratio was 22.4:1. In 2024–2025, 25% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-lowest rate among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for Hispanic Students was notably higher than its overall rank, at the 91st percentile; for Low Socio Economic Status Students, it was lower, at the 32nd percentile.
