Summary

Bridgeway Island Elementary is a large, high-performing K-8 public school serving 1,062 students in West Sacramento, part of the Washington Unified School District.

This school stands out as a top performer, ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide and significantly exceeding both district and state averages in English, math, and science proficiency. It achieves this success while operating very efficiently, spending far less per student than other schools in the area like Westmore Oaks Elementary or Sacramento Valley Charter. Furthermore, Bridgeway Island has cultivated an excellent culture of attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.2%, which is less than half the rate of its district and the lowest among nearby Washington Unified schools.

The school shows particular strength in supporting special education students and has demonstrated consistent improvement over time. While it is part of a district that ranks lower overall, Bridgeway Island's own performance places it in the top 30% of California schools, proving that a school's quality is not solely determined by its district. Compared to other local options such as Genevieve Didion in Sacramento City Unified, Bridgeway Island delivers comparable high-quality education with remarkable resourcefulness.
