New Hope Charter

Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

New Hope Charter is a small, K-8 charter elementary school serving 164 students in a high-need area of Sacramento, where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in math (14.57%), English (30.32%), and science (10.81%) well below state averages and generally lower than most nearby schools. For example, its math proficiency is notably lower than at Hazel Strauch Elementary (42.51%) and Robla Elementary (23.41%). A positive trend is a steady improvement in chronic absenteeism, which has dropped to 21.6%, a better rate than several area schools like Main Avenue Elementary (30.5%).

Despite having the highest per-student spending ($19,636) among compared schools and a favorable student-teacher ratio, these resources have not yet translated to stronger academic outcomes. This disconnect suggests families may want to inquire about specific instructional strategies and curriculum, especially for middle school grades where math scores decline. The school's smaller size and K-8 structure, similar to Smythe Academy of Arts and Sciences, may offer a consistent environment, but its performance as a charter school is currently below that of many traditional public schools in the Twin Rivers Unified and Robla Elementary districts.
