Summary

Florin Elementary is a K–6 school in Sacramento serving 583 students, in an area with nearby schools from both Elk Grove Unified and Sacramento City Unified. Its most urgent challenge is chronic absenteeism: in 2025–26, 36% of students were chronically absent, compared with 22% districtwide and 18% statewide. Although the rate has improved from its 47% peak in 2021–22, it remains substantially higher than both comparisons.

Math is Florin’s clearest academic weakness, while science is a relative strength among nearby schools. In 2025–26, math proficiency was 17%, below the nearby-school average of 33%, the district’s 44% and the state’s 38%; grade 5 was especially low at 13%. Science proficiency was 22%—still below the district’s 37% and state’s 36%, but above the nearby average of 20%. ELA proficiency was 32%, 7 points below the nearby average and below the district’s 54% and state’s 49%. One bright spot is grade 6 ELA: 44%, second-highest among the 11 nearby schools and 4 points below the state.

Over four years, ELA proficiency rose 11 points and science rose 10, while math remained roughly flat; its gap with California widened from 17 to 21 points. Florin’s SchoolDigger rating is 1 star at the 20th statewide percentile, up from the 11th percentile in 2021–22 but below the district’s 3 stars and 64th percentile. Context measures include a student-teacher ratio of 22.4 in 2024–25, the third-lowest among nearby schools, and 92% free/reduced lunch eligible that year—the highest reported rate among them, 5 points above the next-highest. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show stronger relative results for English Language Learner students: the group ranked at the 48th percentile in 2023–24, compared with 14th overall. Special Education Students’ ranking rose from the 21st percentile in 2023–24 to the 44th in 2025–26.
