Summary

Caleb Greenwood Elementary is a 536-student school serving grades K–6 in Sacramento, within the Sacramento City Unified district. In 2025–26, 79% of students were proficient in ELA, 73% in math and 61% in science. The main takeaway is that Caleb’s results were far above both state and district rates in all three subjects.

Math is Caleb’s strongest subject compared with the state, district and nearby K–6 schools; science is its least strong by those comparisons, though still well ahead. Caleb’s rates were about 30 points above the state in ELA, 35 points in math and 25 points in science; its leads over the district were 38, 41 and 31 points, respectively. Against the average of four nearby K–6 schools with scores, Caleb was ahead by 17 points in ELA, 18 in math and 13 in science. It ranked second among five schools in ELA and math, and third in science.

Results have been fairly steady overall: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 2 points, math was essentially unchanged, and science fell 1 point. The science result includes a sharp latest-year drop of 17 points after a particularly strong 2024–25; even so, its gap over the state narrowed by 7 points across the four years. SchoolDigger gave Caleb a 91st-percentile statewide rank and 5 stars in 2025–26, compared with the district’s 36th-percentile rank and 2 stars. In 2024–25, Caleb’s student-teacher ratio was 24.8, tied for the second-highest among the 11 schools, and its free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 24%—a contextual measure, not an explanation for results. Chronic absenteeism was 10% in 2025–26, below the state’s 18% and district’s 27%. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result: in 2023–24, Caleb ranked at the 47th percentile for serving Multi-racial Students, compared with the 93rd percentile overall, a difference of 46 percentile points; this subgroup ranking is available for one year only.

What people are saying
by a parent
Tuesday, December 4, 2018

Open Quote 1. Teachers don't care whether kids do homework or get failing grades. They'll fight you to pass her on anyway (for stats?) 2. Requests for help are met with obstruction. If you ask for an SST, they will ambush you with every teacher she had who suddenly think your daughter is a great student. It is really shocking. 3. Special Ed needs? Run, don't walk from this school. 4. If you are a single parent, or not affluent, you will not be an equally respected member of the school community. That's for starters. Close Quote
