1150 Eastern Ave, Sacramento, CA 95864

The property at 1150 Eastern Avenue has served the affluent Arden Park neighborhood as an educational center since the early 1960’s. The site possesses a rare and valuable Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to operate a school, which runs with the land. Originally, the campus was constructed on 12.77 acres as an elementary school, serving the neighborhood in that capacity until it transitioned into an adult education facility. In 1984, the property was declared surplus property by the San Juan Unified School District. The Subject Property was sold to River Oaks Center for Children, Inc. (formerly Re-Ed West) for operation of a non-profit private school, and the balance of the original school site was sold to Mission Oaks Park and Recreation District for a community park and the home of the Eastern Little League, which remains in operation today. Sierra School at Eastern has operated at 1150 Eastern Avenue since 2009, originally as SESI, or Specialized Education Services, Inc. For 30 years, SESI—headquartered in Yardley, PA—has been expertly and holistically meeting the academic, behavioral, and emotional needs of K–12+ students facing intensive learning, language, and social challenges. Implementing a signature education model that incorporates supportive therapies and life skills training, SESI emphasizes guiding students to success in and out of the classroom and optimally preparing them for next steps. SESI has an impressive graduation rate of 79%–98% for special education students (across all SESI schools) and a partner retention rate of more than 90%. SESI operates the Sierra School of Sacramento (one of 5-6 Sierra Schools and Academies) and the High Road Schools and Academies as its flagship stand-alone Special Education facility. Local School Districts send students to the schools and pay a tuition for their specialized education. School districts typically place a student in a “non-public” school when they can no longer meet their unique individual educational needs or when students become too complex or disruptive or a danger to themselves or others if they remain in their neighborhood schools. In 2015, SESI merged with Catapult Learning. Founded in 1976, Catapult Learning is a full-service instructional provider of proven intervention, professional development, assessment, and dropout prevention and recovery programs, with a special focus on struggling and at-risk students. Catapult Learning’s school and district partners consistently report significant student gains, with annual pre- to post-intervention standardized test scores rising an average of 12 normal-curve equivalent (NCE) points in math and 11 in reading over the past eight academic years. Additionally, over 95% of Catapult Learning partners renew their contracts, and the average tenure of partnership is 17 years. The 1150 Eastern Avenue campus is within walking distance to one of three Whole Foods Markets in the entire Sacramento Metro Area. It is also close to other pre-eminent educational institutions: Jesuit High School, St. Francis Catholic High School, Sacramento Country Day School (K-12) and Rio Americano High School, one of the region’s highest rated public academic institutions.  « show less
