Summary

Roy Herberger Elementary is a large, well-regarded K-6 public school serving 937 students in the Elk Grove Unified School District, consistently earning strong 4-star ratings even as the number of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds has grown significantly in recent years.

The school has notable strengths in mathematics, where student proficiency exceeds both district and state averages, and it is exceptionally effective in supporting English Language Learners. It also manages student attendance well, with a chronic absenteeism rate better than the area average, which is impressive given the school's socioeconomic profile. While performance is solid overall, a close look at nearby schools reveals an interesting comparison: Raymond Case Elementary, located less than half a mile away and serving a very similar student population, achieves higher proficiency rates in both English and Math and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate, suggesting potential opportunities for shared learning.

Areas for attention include science proficiency, which is slightly below average, and supporting specific student groups where performance trends have declined, such as those in Special Education. Despite these challenges, Roy Herburger maintains stable academic results even with increasing economic needs among its students, operates with efficient use of resources, and shows a strong recovery in attendance since the pandemic, making it a reliably performing school in the community.
