Summary:
Zip code 95818 in Sacramento is served by eight public schools within the Sacramento City Unified district, including four elementary schools, one middle school, and three high schools, creating a diverse educational landscape with extreme performance variations.

William Land Elementary is another strong performer, demonstrating that high achievement is possible with a more economically diverse student population. At the high school level, Arthur A. Benjamin Health Professions High boasts the highest graduation rate and zero dropouts, and The MET has the lowest high school absenteeism, though both struggle with math proficiency like most schools in the area.
Overall, the district ranks below the state average, and schools here show a wide range in funding, class sizes, and student needs.

However, models like William Land and the alternative high schools show promising approaches to engagement and graduation despite these challenges.
