Summary
Foulks Ranch Elementary serves 779 students in grades K–6 in Elk Grove and is part of Elk Grove Unified. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency rates were above state and district levels in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The clearest concern is sixth grade: ELA proficiency was 50%, 7 percentage points below the district, and math was 32%, 11 points below; eight of 10 nearby schools scored higher in ELA and nine scored higher in math.
Across all grades, math is Foulks Ranch’s strongest subject against state and district benchmarks, while its results are generally around or below the nearby-school averages. ELA proficiency was 55%, compared with 49% statewide and 54% in the district, and was just below the nearby average of 55%. Math was 46%, above the state’s 38% and district’s 44%, but below the nearby average of 51%. Science was 38%, slightly above the state’s 36% and district’s 37%, but just below the nearby average of 39%. Results vary by grade: third-grade math was a bright spot at 64%, above the district’s 53% and state’s 47%, while only four nearby schools scored higher.
Foulks Ranch’s statewide SchoolDigger percentile fell from 72 in 2024–2025 to 67 in 2025–2026, and its rating shifted from four stars to three; locally, that percentile is in the middle of the nearby group. Over the same four-year period, math proficiency rose 5 percentage points, more than the state’s 4-point gain, while ELA fell 1 point and science rose 2 points, both trailing state gains. Attendance improved: chronic absenteeism declined from 33% in 2021–2022 to 18% in 2025–2026, close to the state’s 18%. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 23.9, virtually the nearby average; 50% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby average of 57%. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show sharply different statewide standings: Hispanic Students ranked at the 86th percentile, compared with 67 overall, while Asian Students ranked at the 7th percentile, 60 points below overall.
