Summary

Umoja International Academy is a 7–12 public school in Sacramento City Unified, serving 412 students in Sacramento, California. It combines a high graduation rate—96% in 2025–26, compared with 88% in the district and statewide—with chronic absenteeism of 38%, above the district’s 27% and the state’s 18%. The most important takeaway is the sharp divide between stronger upper-grade results and weaker middle-grade performance, alongside a particularly large schoolwide math gap to the state.

Umoja’s results are strongest in upper grades: 11th-grade ELA proficiency was 79%, versus 42% in Sacramento City Unified and 57% statewide; 12th-grade science was 65%, 35 points above the district and 32 above the state. In all-grades results, science was closest to benchmarks at 29%, just 1 point below the district and 7 below the state. Math was the clearest weakness: 14% proficient, 18 points below the district and 25 below the state. Umoja ranked third among nearby schools with all-grades scores in each subject, behind West Campus and C. K. McClatchy High. Among nearby 7–12 schools with results, Umoja had the highest all-grades scores in each available subject, though its grade 7–8 results remain well below state levels.

Over the past four years, ELA proficiency rose 3 points and science rose 6, including a 10-point science jump in the latest year; math fell 4 points, and its gap to the state widened. SchoolDigger rates Umoja 4 stars at the 77th statewide percentile, second among nearby schools with current rankings, but its percentile dropped 18 points from the prior year. SchoolDigger’s group rankings differ notably: it places the school’s effectiveness for Male Students at the 96th percentile and for Female Students at the 59th; its Hispanic Students ranking rose from the 15th percentile in 2021–22 to the 80th in 2023–24. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 17.2, and 68% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, below the 70% average among nearby schools reporting the same measure.
