Summary

White Rock Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 381 students in the Folsom-Cordova Unified School District in Rancho Cordova, consistently ranking in the bottom tier of California elementary schools with a current 1-star rating.

Academically, the school significantly underperforms compared to both its district and the state, with only 22% of students proficient in English and 13% in math; notably, these scores are much lower than nearby schools like Navigator Elementary and Peter J. Shields Elementary. While the school serves a population with very high economic need, it spends over $27,500 per student, which is more than some higher-performing schools in the area, such as Del Dayo Elementary in the San Juan Unified district.

A positive trend is a major reduction in chronic student absenteeism, though the rate remains above the district average. Performance varies dramatically by grade, and the school's statewide ranking has fallen sharply in recent years, even as some peer schools with similar challenges in the area have shown more stable or better results.
