Summary:

ZIP code 95818 has eight schools in Sacramento City Unified: four elementary schools, one middle school and three high schools serving grades from elementary through high school. In 2025–2026, the schools’ average all-grades proficiency was 51% in ELA and 40% in science, above state results of 49% and 36%; math averaged 33%, below the state’s 38%. The most important finding is how widely results differ: the top-to-bottom spread is 64 percentage points in ELA, 73 in math and 46 in science.

Crocker/Riverside Elementary leads all eight schools in all three subjects, with 79% in ELA, 80% in math and 60% in science. It is especially far ahead in math: its result is 42 points above the state and 54 points above the other seven schools’ average. Leataata Floyd Elementary is lowest in each subject, at 14% in ELA, 7% in math and 13% in science. William Land Elementary is also a strong performer, ranking second in ELA and math and nearly tied for second in science. Among high schools, Arthur A. Benjamin Health Professions High leads in ELA at 58%, C. K. McClatchy High in math at 28%, and The MET in science at 37%.

Across the schools, science improved by an average of 9 percentage points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while math fell by 1 point and ELA changed little. SchoolDigger ranks Crocker/Riverside at the 94th statewide percentile and Leataata Floyd at the 2nd; Bret Harte Elementary stands out for a more uneven ranking, falling from the 38th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 22nd in 2025–2026. For context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures ranged from 15% at Crocker/Riverside to 97% at Leataata Floyd; these are observations, not explanations for results. School size and ratios do not show a consistent pattern either: Crocker/Riverside has 631 students and a 24.2 student–teacher ratio, while Bret Harte has 173 students and an 18.0 ratio.
