Summary

John Ehrhardt Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 830 students in the Elk Grove Unified School District, consistently earning a 3-star rating while outperforming state averages in core subjects.

The school has a clear standout strength in science, where its students perform significantly better than both the district and state averages, and notably better than most nearby schools like Elitha Donner Elementary, John Reith Elementary, and Irene B. West Elementary. It is also particularly effective in supporting English Language Learners and students from low-income families, achieving strong academic results for these groups even as the number of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch has grown. While chronic absenteeism is higher than average, it has improved considerably since the pandemic.

Compared to other schools, John Ehrhardt achieves its results efficiently, spending less per student than schools like John Reith Elementary and Joseph Sims Elementary. A key point for parents to note is that math performance tends to dip in the upper grades, even as English Language Arts remains steady. When looking at the highest-performing nearby school, Stone Lake Elementary, both share a strength in science, but Stone Lake has a lower rate of student poverty and absenteeism.
