Summary

David Reese Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 769 students in Sacramento's Elk Grove Unified School District, consistently receiving a low state rating while operating in an area with a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

The school faces significant challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science falling well below both Elk Grove Unified and state averages, and chronic student absenteeism is notably high at 33.3%. Performance trends show a steep decline in math scores from 3rd to 6th grade, and science scores are particularly low. While the school has shown historical strength with English Language Learners, performance for other student subgroups, such as Asian and Hispanic students, ranks very low compared to peers across California.

Comparisons with nearby schools reveal a complex picture. Most schools within the Elk Grove Unified district, like Herman Leimbach Elementary, show similar struggles, though Anna Kirchgater Elementary performs better with similar demographics. The most striking contrast is with Camellia Elementary, located just over a mile away in the Sacramento City Unified district, which achieves much higher academic results and has very low absenteeism despite serving a similarly disadvantaged population, suggesting that factors beyond demographics influence outcomes.
