Summary
Tahoe Elementary serves 319 students in grades K–6 in Sacramento, California. Its 2025–26 SchoolDigger ranking is 5,080th of 5,804 California schools, at the 12th percentile with 1 star. The clearest academic concern is science: just 6% of students were proficient, 30 percentage points below the state, and Tahoe ranked second-lowest among nine nearby same-district schools.
Mathematics is Tahoe’s strongest subject relative to district and state benchmarks, but it is still behind both: 21% proficiency compared with 32% in the district and 38% statewide. ELA proficiency was 24%, versus 41% in the district and 49% statewide; science was 6%, versus 30% and 36%. Tahoe ranked sixth of nine nearby same-district schools in both ELA and math, and its math result was 7 points below the nearby-school average. There are some brighter grade-level results: sixth-grade ELA was 29%, higher than five of eight local peers, while fifth-grade math was especially weak at 6%.
Over time, ELA has been mostly flat, moving from 25% in 2022–23 to 24% in 2025–26; math also changed little, from 21% to 21%. Science fell from 21% to 6%, including a sharp drop from 23% in 2024–25. Chronic absenteeism improved from 39% in 2021–22 to 27% in 2025–26, but remained 8 points above the state. In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 19.3, lower than all eight nearby same-district schools with data; 67% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Special Education Students was at the 29th percentile in 2025–26, above the school’s overall 12th percentile, after reaching the 52nd percentile the year before. Its ranking for African American Students shifted from the 44th percentile in 2022–23 to the 5th in 2023–24. These subgroup rankings describe SchoolDigger’s assessment of how well the school serves each group, not students’ proficiency rates.
