Summary

Sutterville Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 408 students in the Sacramento City Unified district, standing out as a consistently high-performing school in an area with wide academic variation.

Academically, Sutterville is a clear leader, significantly outperforming both its district and the state in English and Math. Its most impressive strengths are its exceptional support for Hispanic and Special Education students, ranking in the top 10-15% of California schools for these groups, and its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.5%, which is less than half the district average. The school has shown a strong, sustained upward trajectory, maintaining a 4-star rating in the 79th-85th percentile statewide for the past four years. This achievement is notable because it accomplishes strong results with a moderate student-teacher ratio and per-student spending, suggesting highly effective teaching practices and a positive school climate.

When compared to nearby schools, Sutterville's performance is even more distinctive. While many neighbors like H. W. Harkness Elementary and Hollywood Park Elementary are ranked in the bottom half of the state, Sutterville is a top-tier option. It serves a more economically diverse population than the highest-performing school in the area, Crocker/Riverside Elementary, while delivering similarly strong academic outcomes, positioning it as a highly effective and desirable school for families.
