Mary Tsukamoto Elementary

Summary:

Mary Tsukamoto Elementary is a public elementary school in Sacramento, California, serving 980 students in grades K-6 as part of the Elk Grove Unified School District. While the district is ranked 594 out of 1,568 in California, Mary Tsukamoto's performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas.

For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 49.1% of Mary Tsukamoto students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 51.7% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was 37.61% at Mary Tsukamoto, lower than the district's 41.16% and the state's 35.54%. The school also faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 9.3% in 2017-2018 to 30.3% in 2021-2022, notably higher than the district's 23.0% rate.

When comparing Mary Tsukamoto to nearby schools within the Elk Grove Unified District, such as Raymond Case Elementary and Roy Herburger Elementary, it becomes evident that Mary Tsukamoto's performance is generally lower across various metrics. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the increasing chronic absenteeism rates at Mary Tsukamoto may be contributing factors to the school's relatively lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
