Summary:
The 95826 zip code area of Sacramento, California is home to 10 schools, including 9 elementary schools and 1 middle school, spanning across two different school districts - Sacramento City Unified and Elk Grove Unified. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance among these schools, with a few standouts like Golden Empire Elementary and California Montessori Project - Capitol Campus outperforming their peers on state assessments and other key metrics.
While Golden Empire Elementary ranks in the top 50% of California elementary schools and scores above state and district averages, other schools like Aspire Capitol Heights Academy struggle to meet basic proficiency levels.

The variation in school performance within the same district, such as Sacramento City Unified, suggests opportunities for cross-school collaboration and the sharing of best practices to raise the tide for all students in the area. Addressing the disparities and leveraging the successes of standout schools could lead to more equitable and high-quality educational opportunities for the community.
