Rosa Parks Elementary

Summary:

Rosa Parks Elementary is a public K-8 school in Sacramento, California, with a total enrollment of 734 students. The school is part of the Sacramento City Unified School District, which is ranked 1000 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Rosa Parks Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of California elementary schools over the past several years, with low proficiency rates on state assessments. In 2023-2024, only 13.01% of Rosa Parks students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 47.04% statewide and 38.95% in the district. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching 37.7% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, 91.28% of Rosa Parks students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, the nearby Pony Express Elementary, Susan B. Anthony Elementary, and John H. Still schools generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism, despite also serving a significant population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The relatively high student-teacher ratio at Rosa Parks, ranging from 22.1 to 23.4 over the past three years, may be a contributing factor to the school's low performance. Addressing the specific needs of Rosa Parks' student population, such as improving attendance and providing additional academic support, could be key to improving the school's outcomes.

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.
