Summary

Camellia Elementary serves 309 students in grades K–6 in Sacramento and stands out academically among the 10 nearby K–6 schools in the data. Its most important distinction is that in 2025–2026 it ranked first among those schools in proficiency in all three reported subjects: ELA, math and science.

ELA and math are especially strong compared with the state, district and nearby schools. About 66% of Camellia students were proficient in each subject; its results were 17 points above the state in ELA and 27 points above in math, and 25 and 33 points above the Sacramento City Unified district, respectively. It also led the best nearby result by 19 points in ELA and 24 points in math. Science is the main caution: about 33% were proficient, 3 points below the state but 3 points above the district and 9 points above the nearby high.

ELA and math have risen over four years, by 8 and 9 percentage points, respectively, while science fell 22 points from 2024–2025 and is now below the state. Attendance is another bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 9%, compared with 18% statewide and 27% in the district, and was lower than every nearby school’s reported rate. SchoolDigger ranks Camellia at the 82nd statewide percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026; the next-highest nearby school, Earl Warren Elementary, is at the 54th percentile with 3 stars. Camellia’s student-teacher ratio is 22.3, and its reported measure is 84% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show especially strong results for English Language Learner Students: the school ranked at the 99th percentile in 2022–2023, versus the 76th percentile overall. For Asian Students, its 2025–2026 subgroup ranking was lower—45th percentile versus 82nd overall—though it has risen from the 29th percentile in 2023–2024.
