Summary

Mary Tsukamoto Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 989 students in Sacramento's Elk Grove Unified district, consistently performing as a solid, mid-tier school that effectively supports a student population where a significant majority qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school performs slightly above state averages in English and Math but has a notable challenge in Science, where scores are significantly lower. A key strength is its effectiveness with specific student groups, including English Language Learners and students from low-income families, where it achieves high percentile rankings. The school also does a better-than-average job managing chronic absenteeism compared to both the district and state, and it operates efficiently, achieving good outcomes with lower per-student spending than several neighboring schools like Anna Kirchgater Elementary and Robert J. Fite Elementary.

When compared to nearby schools, Mary Tsukamoto often outperforms those with similar student demographics, such as Isabelle Jackson Elementary, while not reaching the performance levels of higher-ranked schools like Raymond Case Elementary. Parents should note that math performance tends to decline in the upper grades, and the school's ranking has actually improved in recent years even as the economic needs of its students have increased, suggesting resilient teaching and support systems.
