Summary

Oak Ridge Elementary is a 429-student K–6 school in Sacramento, serving families in Sacramento City Unified. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were below district and state results in English language arts (ELA), math and science, and chronic absenteeism was also higher. The central concern is that achievement remains substantially below both benchmarks: Oak Ridge’s proficiency rates trailed the state by 21 to 30 percentage points across the three subjects.

Math is Oak Ridge’s relative strength, but not a strong result compared with the district or state: 17% of students were proficient, versus 32% districtwide and 38% statewide. It also exceeded the nearby K–6 peer average of 14%. ELA and science were weaker relative to those peers: Oak Ridge recorded 19% in ELA and 14% in science, compared with peer averages of 20% and 15%; it ranked fourth of eight peers in ELA and fifth in math and science. Fifth-grade math stands out as a specific concern: just 2% were proficient, below the 4%–21% range at nearby same-district schools, and 35 points below the state. Nearby results vary widely: K–8 Leonardo Da Vinci had much higher all-grade results, though its broader grade span makes that comparison less like-for-like.

Scores have risen since 2022–2023: ELA gained 5 percentage points, math 4 and science 9. The state gaps narrowed, but remained above 20 points in every subject in 2025–2026; science fluctuated rather than improving steadily. SchoolDigger placed Oak Ridge at the 7th statewide percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026. Attendance has improved, too, with chronic absenteeism down 5 points from 2021–2022, but it was still 36% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 27% and state’s 18%. Context measures include a 28.4 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby schools with reported data, and 97% free/reduced lunch eligible that year; California is also identified as a statewide free-meals state. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is Special Education Students at the 44th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 5th percentile. English Language Learner Students’ ranking fell from the 47th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 25th in 2023–2024, though it remained above the school’s overall ranking in both years.
