Fortune scores 39 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 40th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Most rating sites would stop at “30% proficient” and call it done. Fortune deserves a closer read. The school sits in Sacramento, where three in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

As a charter, Fortune enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Frequently asked questions

Is Fortune a good elementary school?
Fortune has a Scope Score of 39 out of 100, placing it in the 40th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #3,418 statewide. 11.3% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 10.0 percentage points below the California average of 21.3%. The Scope Score weights six dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard (43%), met or exceeded (22%), grade 3-to-5 growth (15%), chronic absenteeism (10%), ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%), and suspension rate (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Fortune's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 30.3% of students at Fortune met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 11.3% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 19.0% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 11.3% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it reveals whether a school's curriculum challenges students beyond minimum proficiency or paces toward it. 886 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Fortune rank in California?
Fortune ranks #3,418 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 40th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 3 to grade 5 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
Is Fortune getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Fortune decreases by 1.9 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth. This downward pattern doesn't necessarily mean the school is failing — it can reflect cohort differences, demographic shifts, or curriculum changes. A campus visit and conversation with teachers can reveal what the numbers can't. Growth trajectory is weighted at 15% in the elementary Scope Score because it measures what the school does, not just who walks in the door.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Fortune?
32.0% of students at Fortune are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 6.2%. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Fortune compare to other schools in Sacramento?
Fortune scores 39/100 (40th percentile) among California elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 1,698 students. Use the schools in Sacramento page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does Fortune serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Fortune in Sacramento, 32.9% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 4.2% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Fortune outperforms its district average for low-income students by 28.7 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (24.3% Math proficient); Black students (35.0% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 25.3 percentage points for disabilities students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 620 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
