Best Public Schools in Zip Code 95823

Summary:

The 17 schools in zip code 95823 serve a diverse student population across elementary, middle, high, and alternative schools in the Fortune District, Elk Grove Unified, and Sacramento City Unified districts. While some standout schools like Fortune and Valley High perform well on certain metrics, the area faces significant challenges, including low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic outcomes.

Fortune, an alternative school, has a high percentage of African American students and a relatively low four-year graduation rate, but its test scores are generally higher than the state average. Valley High performs better than the district and state averages on most metrics, while Las Flores High (Alternative) has relatively strong test scores compared to other alternative schools in the area, despite a high dropout rate.

The data reveals stark differences in academic performance between schools, even within the same district. The alternative and continuation schools in the area, such as Fortune and Rio Cazadero High (Continuation), face significant challenges, with lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and lower test scores compared to the traditional high schools. Additionally, the schools with the highest percentages of students eligible for free/reduced lunch tend to have lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher chronic absenteeism, suggesting a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance.
