Summary

Carl H. Sundahl Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving 435 students in the Folsom-Cordova Unified district, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in California.

The school is distinguished by its strong math performance, with over 72% of students proficient, which is higher than nearby schools like Folsom Hills Elementary and Theodore Judah Elementary. It also excels in student attendance, with a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.1%, indicating a positive and engaging school environment. While the school's performance for all students is high, it's important to note that scores for some student groups have varied from year to year, which the school is likely monitoring closely.

When looking at the broader area, a key finding is the significant difference in performance between school districts. For example, Carl H. Sundahl's results are dramatically stronger than those of the geographically close Ottomon Way Elementary in the neighboring San Juan Unified district. Within its own district, Carl H. Sundahl is a top performer alongside Folsom Hills, while other district schools like Blanche Sprentz Elementary have lower proficiency scores.
