Summary

Florence Markofer Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 670 students in the Elk Grove Unified district, consistently earning a solid 3-star rating and ranking in the top half of all California elementary schools.

The school has notable strengths, particularly in mathematics where its 3rd graders perform well above district and state averages, and in effectively supporting students with special needs and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. It has also made impressive progress in improving student attendance, which is now better than both the district and state averages. While the school's overall performance is stable, an interesting pattern shows math scores are strongest in the early grades, suggesting a focus area for maintaining that success through 6th grade.

Compared to nearby schools, Florence Markofer stands out for its higher per-student spending and its ability to achieve solid results while serving a student population with significant economic need. It outperforms other schools with similar challenges, like James A. McKee Elementary and Elitha Donner Elementary. However, it trails higher-performing neighbors like Zehnder Ranch Elementary and the California Montessori Project - Elk Grove Campus charter school, which spend less per student but serve fewer students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
