ABOUT CAPITOL COLLEGIATECapitol Collegiate Academy serves a critical role in the educational offerings for students in Sacramento. In 2019, just over 50% of students in our state were proficient in reading and less than 40% were proficient in math. CapitolCollegiate’s college preparatory K-8 program addresses this inequity and provides a public-school option that puts students on a long-term path from kindergarten to college.

Students at Capitol Collegiate, the vast majority of whom are socioeconomically disadvantaged, are achieving inEnglish Language Arts, Math and Science at levels significantly higher than their peers in South Sacramento.Nearly 65% of our students are reading proficiently in third grade, while their peers at schools they would otherwise attend average less 20% reading proficiency.

Capitol Collegiate Academy is based on two core ideas: a cohesive culture and a rigorous instructional program.Both are grounded in the absolute belief that all students, regardless of their backgrounds, have the right to an excellent, college-preparatory education starting in kindergarten.

Our committed, exceptional staff of 65 serve 450 students in grades TK- 8. With opportunities for leadership; support from coaches and leaders; and strong, trusting, professional staff relationships, we are proud of the high levels of teacher and staff retention.

We attribute a large part of our success to date to the high expectations we collectively hold for all; the robust social and academic supports we provide for students; and systems that promote efficiency and focus all attention on the joy of learning. Capitol Collegiate Academy’s cohesive school culture ensures that we maximize the instructional time that we have with every student attending our school.
