Summary:

Elk Grove Charter is a public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in the Elk Grove Unified School District, with 295 students. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, currently ranking 1130 out of 2323 California high schools and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elk Grove Charter's performance is mixed, with some areas of strength and others needing improvement. The school's 4-year graduation rate has declined in recent years, dropping from 93.5% in 2019-2020 to 91.6% in 2022-2023, though still higher than district and state averages. Its dropout rate has also fluctuated, ranging from 4.2% to 11.5%. Academically, Elk Grove Charter's test scores on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST exams are generally lower than the Elk Grove Unified School District and the state of California, with only 43.06% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 16.9% in Mathematics.

Compared to other high schools in the district, such as Monterey Trail High, Laguna Creek High, and Franklin High, Elk Grove Charter's performance is generally lower. However, the school has seen a significant decrease in its chronic absenteeism rate, from 20.3% in 2020-2021 to 0.0% in the last two school years, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be a strength.

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.
