2008 Growth API School Report - Del Paso Manor Elementary

On the right hand side there is a tab that will bring up demographic information about a particular school. This school has a rapid learner program. So 38% of the students are gifted, even though 34% are eligble for free or reduced price lunches. 23% of the parents have a college degree and 44% went to grad school.

One you have found a school you are interested in google the name of the school and SARC - School Accountibility Report Card. Public Schools are required to publish these.

Here are the SARCs for elementary schools in the San Juan District

In Sacramento Schoold district - no, not in my opinion

In the greater Sacramento area, as in Roseville, Folsom, San Juan School District, El Dorado Hills, Ganite Bay, Davis.....then yes - there are good high schools

Don't forget Elk Grove. I'm partial because my wife works at one of the high schools.

Granite Bay High School and Vista Del Lago in Folsom are ridiculously nice, you would think they were colleges. I work for a construction company that is pimping out San Juan HS at the moment, though Citrus Heights aient that great.

John F. Kennedy Senior School has multiple small community schools within the it's regular population. It's really worth checking out. Also, there is a Natomas Charter School that is heavy into drama, cooking and accelerated students. Googling schools and getting on their website is wonderful. Depending upon which district you're in, some are offering Montessoris and theme based to match with your childs needs and/or talents.

From my research the best high schools:
Granite bay, Oak Ridge, Folsom High, Rio American.

The problem when looking for house, how to know boundaries of specific school per zip code.
For example, how I can know which school will attend my kid if we live in 95608?

....may be boundaries doesn't matter and i can sign kid into any high school? If for example we live in Folsom, can i sign him into Granite Bay High school?
