NEW JOSEPH BONNHEIM (NJB) COMMUNITY CHARTER

New Joseph Bonnheim (NJB) Community Charter is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Sacramento City Unified school district, located in Sacramento, CA with about 283 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 13 teachers, New Joseph Bonnheim (NJB) Community Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 21:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The New Joseph Bonnheim (NJB) Community Charter, located in the Fruitridge area of Sacramento, operates as an independent, dependent charter school within the Sacramento City Unified School District. The school distinguishes itself through a rigorous, inquiry-based academic program that emphasizes "Agriculture, Science, and Technology." By integrating these core pillars into the daily curriculum, NJB aims to provide students with hands-on, real-world learning experiences that prepare them for future academic and professional success.

At the heart of the NJB experience is a strong commitment to community engagement and student-centered growth. As a community-focused charter, the school fosters a collaborative environment where parents, educators, and local partners work together to support the development of the "whole child." Through its unique focus on environmental literacy and modern technological proficiency, New Joseph Bonnheim strives to create an innovative and inclusive educational setting that inspires critical thinking and civic responsibility among its diverse student body.
