SOL AUREUS COLLEGE PREPARATORY

Sol Aureus College Preparatory is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Sacramento City Unified school district, located in Sacramento, CA with about 360 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th 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 14 teachers, Sol Aureus College Preparatory has a student/teacher ratio of about 25:1. 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.

Sol Aureus College Preparatory (SACP) is a tuition-free, public charter school located in the Greenhaven-Pocket area of Sacramento, California. Serving students in grades TK–8, the school is built on the philosophy that every child has the potential to succeed in college if provided with a rigorous, structured, and supportive academic environment. SACP emphasizes a "backwards-by-design" curriculum, which aligns classroom instruction with the long-term goal of college readiness, ensuring that students develop the foundational skills necessary for higher education from an early age.

The school is distinguished by its strong emphasis on character development and a cohesive community culture, often highlighted by its motto, "Whatever It Takes." To support its high academic standards, SACP typically utilizes an extended school day and year, providing students with more time for core subjects like literacy and mathematics, as well as enrichment activities. By fostering a culture of high expectations and personalized attention, Sol Aureus College Preparatory aims to close the achievement gap and prepare a diverse student body for success in competitive high schools and beyond.
