New Hope Charter

New Hope Charter sits in the Robla area of North Sacramento, a working-class neighborhood that's seen a lot of change over the years and is home to a tight-knit, predominantly Latino community. Families choosing this school should go in with open eyes — academic performance in English, math, and science currently ranks well below state averages, which may be a concern for parents prioritizing test scores. That said, charter schools like this one often offer a more personalized environment than a traditional district school, and for families already rooted in this community, the local connection and smaller setting may matter just as much as the rankings.
