Summary

New Joseph Bonnheim (NJB) Community Charter is a K–6 school in Sacramento, California, serving 286 students in Sacramento City Unified. In 2025–2026, 34% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 29% in math and 22% in science. The most important finding for families is that NJB’s proficiency was below both district and state averages in all three subjects.

Among NJB and eight nearby same-district K–6 schools, its results ranked sixth in ELA, fifth in math and sixth in science. Math is its strongest subject relative to district and state comparisons: 29% proficiency was about 3 points below the district and 9 below California. ELA was 34%, about 7 points below the district and 15 below the state; science, at 22%, had the largest gap with the district, about 8 points. Fourth-grade ELA is a particular concern: 19% proficiency ranked eighth of the nine local schools, while third-grade math was a relative bright spot at 41%, about 2 points above the district but 6 below the state.

Results have improved overall since 2022–2023, most clearly in math: proficiency rose 6 points to 29%, and the gap with the state narrowed from about 11 points to 9. Over the same period, ELA rose 2 points and science 3, but their state gaps widened slightly. SchoolDigger rates NJB at the 34th percentile with 2 stars for 2025–2026, up 23 percentile points from its 2017–2018 ranking. SchoolDigger’s historical ranking also suggested stronger relative performance serving English Language Learners: NJB was at the 66th percentile for that group in 2017–2018, compared with the school’s overall 11th percentile that year. As context, 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio of 22.8 matched the average for nearby same-district schools. These measures describe the school’s context but do not explain its test results.
