Summary

Isador Cohen Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 370 students in the Sacramento City Unified district, which has faced significant academic challenges in recent years, declining from a 2-star to a 0-star state rating.

The school's proficiency rates in English, math, and science are substantially lower than those at nearby schools like O. W. Erlewine Elementary, and it serves a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (86.49% on free/reduced lunch). However, a notable bright spot is a major improvement in chronic absenteeism, which at 18.5% is now better than the district average and some neighboring schools.

Performance varies by grade, with sixth grade showing relative strength while third grade faces extreme challenges, and per-pupil spending is lower than at comparable schools in the district. The stark contrast with the high-performing California Montessori Project - Capitol Campus nearby highlights differing outcomes in the area, though Isador Cohen's recent attendance gains may provide a foundation for future improvement.
