Sacramento City Unified School District

The district also includes all of Freeport, Fruitridge Pocket, Lemon Hill and Rosemont, as well as most of La Riviera and Parkway, and portions of Elk Grove, Mather, and Rancho Cordova.

The Civil Rights Project at Harvard University conducted for TIME magazine named Sacramento “America’s Most Diverse City.”[9] Accordingly, SCUSD’s student population is reflected as 36% Hispanic or Latino, 18.3% Asian; 16.3% African American; and 19% white.

They then issued a charter to St. Hope, a not-for-profit community development corporation founded by former NBA player Kevin Johnson.

Some parents, along with the teachers' union, sued the district because it felt the creation of the charter school was not in compliance with California state law.

To date several unsuccessful attempts have been made to establish a replacement program for Sacramento High school.
