Summary

Phoebe A. Hearst Elementary is a top-performing K-6 public school serving 647 students in the Sacramento City Unified district, consistently ranking in the top 5% of all California elementary schools.

The school stands out for its exceptional academic results, with over 83% of students proficient in English and 77% in math, significantly outperforming both the district and state. This excellence extends to effectively serving all student groups, with special education and Hispanic students ranking in the state's top percentiles. A key factor is the school's remarkable attendance culture, with a chronic absenteeism rate of only 4.6%, which is far lower than nearby schools like David Lubin Elementary (13.8%) and Tahoe Elementary (27.3%).

While the broader district ranks in the 36th percentile statewide, Hearst and nearby Caleb Greenwood Elementary form a pocket of high achievement. Hearst achieves these top-tier results efficiently, spending less per student than several neighboring schools with lower performance. The stark contrast with other nearby schools, some just blocks away, highlights how educational outcomes can vary dramatically within the same city.
