Summary

Ferris Spanger Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 301 students in the Roseville City Elementary district, and it has shown impressive recent growth, improving its statewide ranking by 16 percentile points to become a 4-star school in the 2024-2025 year.

The school is particularly effective in supporting its students, with academic results in English, Math, and Science that exceed state averages. A standout achievement is the dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, dropping from over 36% to just 10.1%, which is a better rate than many nearby schools like George Cirby Elementary and Bradford Woodbridge Fundamental Elementary. While it spends moderately per student, its results are strong, especially when compared to schools with similar student populations.

Within its district, Ferris Spanger solidly outperforms some peers and is on a positive trajectory. While there is room to grow in areas like 3rd grade math, the school's recent leaps in proficiency and its success in getting students to attend regularly are strong indicators of a supportive and improving learning environment for all families.
