Summary:
Zip code 95627 contains one public elementary school, Esparto Elementary, serving grades K-5 in a rural community within the Esparto Unified district.
Esparto Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools for the last three years, with its position declining to the 3rd percentile for the 2024-2025 school year. Proficiency rates in English, math, and science are substantially below both district and state averages, with less than 17% of students proficient in English Language Arts and under 14% proficient in math. While the school's chronic absenteeism rate is slightly better than average, this has not translated into stronger academic outcomes for its students.
Notably, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, exceeding $21,000, which is above the typical range for California. This highlights that the issues are complex and not simply due to a lack of funding. The broader Esparto Unified district is also low-performing, indicating these are systemic challenges. For families in this area, understanding this school's performance data is crucial as it is the only public elementary option available locally.
