About St. HOPE Public Schools

Since 2003 St. HOPE Public Schools has passionately worked toward the mission of graduating self-motivated industrious and critical thinking leaders who are committed to serving others passionate about lifelong learning and prepared to earn a degree from a four-year college. St. HOPE Public Schools includes three charter schools : PS7 Elementary School PS7 Middle School and Sacramento Charter High School located in the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento.

Weve raised the bar and our schools are producing extraordinary results with closing the achievement gap and helping our scholars reach their fullest potential. Our student demographics have a much higher percentage of minority and low-income scholars yet our state testing scores show much better results than District averages. A few examples of how our model is succeeding include :

• Sacramento Charter High School was recognized by the California Charter Schools Association (CCSA) for being the highest performing High School for black students in the state of California.
• PS7 and Sacramento Charter High School were named California Education Champions by the National Action Network for being 2 of 16 predominantly African American schools that performed in the top 25% of all schools in California and each scored a 10 / 10 when compared to similar schools. For context this year there were a total of 90 predominantly African American schools in California of which 70 performed in the bottom 25% of all schools.
• PS7 has twice been named a Title 1 Achievement Award winner and has been recognized as a California Distinguished School and as a federal Blue Ribbon School nominee for its educational outcomes with low-income students.
• In 2020 93% of Sac High scholars were accepted into four-year colleges and we are proud to have among the highest percentage of scholars admitted to UCs and CSUs in the Sacramento region. 100% of our scholars graduated meeting UC / CSU requirements compared to district and state averages of 44%. 100% of our scholars with an IEP graduated meeting UC / CSU requirements compared to district averages of 12% and state average of 15%.

At St. HOPE Public schools we believe in the power of the classroom teacher and know that having three years in a row of excellent teaching can overcome the average achievement deficit between low-income scholars and others. We consistently ground ourselves in this belief and prioritize collaboration so that we are building upon scholar success year after year. Alignment is essential - we work hard to ensure different teachers grade levels curriculums and academic focus areas are all coordinated and working together coherently. We take the time needed with our teachers to plan out curriculums that transition smoothly across grades and foster a collaborative work environment with consistent expectations and support across grades and campuses.

In addition to prioritizing academic achievement we prioritize school culture. We host several engaging scholar and family events throughout the school year and we seek to provide a well-rounded experience for our scholars with far more elective courses than are available at traditional schools. We value our teachers and offer every teacher a robust coaching and support plan in order to develop our teachers into the best possible educators. Their daily efforts are what make this learning environment as successful as possible for our scholars.

In addition to St. HOPE Public Schools St. HOPE is a family of nonprofits that also stands for economic growth and revitalization. One of St. HOPEs most prized development projects in Oak Park is the 40 Acres Art and Culture Center on Broadway unveiled in 2003. The project involved refurbishing the old Guild Theater and Woodruff Hotel Buildings at 35th street and Broadway a building that had been vacant. 40 Acres currently includes the Guild Theater Underground Books Old Soul Co. twelve loft apartments and its newest addition Fixins Soul Kitchen.
