Summary

O. W. Erlewine Elementary is a 300-student K–6 school in Sacramento, part of Sacramento City Unified. Its results are mixed: English-language arts (ELA) is stronger than the district and nearby peer averages, while math trails those comparisons. The clearest schoolwide concern is chronic absenteeism: 31% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, compared with 27% in the district and 18% statewide; Erlewine was highest among nearby schools with reported figures, just above Bancroft at 30%.

ELA is Erlewine’s strongest subject against the district and nearby K–5/6 peers: 43% met the standard, compared with 41% in the district and 40% for nearby peers, though the state result was higher at 49%. Science was 29%—close to the district’s 30%, above nearby peers’ 26%, but below the state’s 36%. Math was the weakest comparison: 30% proficiency, versus 32% in the district, 35% among nearby peers and 38% statewide. Results also vary by grade: third-grade ELA was 45%, above state and district results, with only Sequoia Elementary scoring higher among the six nearby K–5/6 schools. Sixth-grade math was 21%, well below the state’s 37% and district’s 35%.

Recent trends make the math and science results more concerning: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, Erlewine’s math proficiency fell 8 percentage points and science fell 23, while state results rose 4 and 6 points, respectively. Chronic absenteeism improved by 11 points since 2021–22, but the gap with the state widened from 12 to 13 points. SchoolDigger ranks Erlewine 3,290th of 5,804 statewide, at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars; its student–teacher ratio is 23.8, and 63% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. In SchoolDigger’s 2024–25 subgroup rankings, the school’s effectiveness for Hispanic Students was at the 68th percentile, above its overall 52nd percentile; for White Students, it was at the 23rd percentile, below the overall result.
