Summary

Crocker/Riverside Elementary is a top-performing K-6 public school in Sacramento, serving 631 students and consistently ranking in the top 4-10% of all California elementary schools.

The school's academic results are exceptional, with proficiency rates in English and Math that are roughly double the state averages and significantly higher than most nearby schools like Leataata Floyd Elementary or Hollywood Park Elementary. This excellence is consistent, with the school earning 5-star ratings for eight of the last ten years, and it effectively supports all student groups, including those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide for that subgroup. A key factor in its success is an outstanding attendance culture, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.4%, which is less than half the state average and far lower than many surrounding schools.

Crocker/Riverside stands out within the broader Sacramento City Unified district, achieving these results with efficient use of resources, spending less per student than some lower-performing neighboring schools. While the school serves a community with fewer economically disadvantaged students than some comparisons, its proven ability to propel every subgroup to high achievement suggests powerful, effective school-wide practices. Its sustained excellence, even through leadership changes and the pandemic, makes it a model of what is possible in public education.

What people are saying

by a student
Sunday, June 17, 2012

It's true that Crocker's academics are extremely high and the school has fantastic teachers, but the reason for my low rating is that the school's population is so homogeneous that fitting in can be extremely difficult. I had a hard time with the work load, but an even harder time connecting with my fellow students. One of my middle school teachers once told me that "You can get a great education anywhere, if you're looking for it." I believe in this whole-heartedly. If given the choice, I would have given up the good academics of Crocker for a student body where I felt accepted and welcomed. Close Quote
