Summary

Robert J. Fite Elementary is a Sacramento-area school in Elk Grove Unified, serving 674 students in grades K–6. Its latest results show one clear strength in sixth-grade English language arts, but overall results are weak across subjects. The main concern is that Fite ranked second-lowest among itself and 10 nearby schools in English language arts, mathematics and science.

Fite’s sixth-grade English language arts result is a bright spot: 67%, compared with 48% statewide and 57% districtwide. But that strength does not extend across the school: fourth- and fifth-grade English results were 35% and 38%. Overall, Fite scored 46% in English language arts, 34% in mathematics and 24% in science—below state results of 49%, 38% and 36%, and below district results of 54%, 44% and 37%. It also trailed nearby-school averages by 12 points in English, 18 in math and 16 in science. Isabelle Jackson Elementary was the only nearby school with lower scores in all three subjects. Mathematics was Fite’s weakest result relative to local schools; science showed its widest gaps against the state and district.

Results have weakened over time: since 2022–2023, English language arts fell 4 percentage points, math fell 10 and science fell 6. In the latest year alone, math dropped 6 points and science 9, while English rose 2. SchoolDigger’s ranking also declined, from the 68th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024 to the 49th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026; only one nearby school ranked lower. Context includes a 23.2 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools with reported figures, and 71% of students reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also vary: its ranking for how well Fite serves White students was at the 7th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with 49th overall; its Hispanic-student ranking fell from the 80th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 43rd in 2025–2026.
