Hardy Brown College Prep is a public charter school in Sacramento, California, for kids in kindergarten through eighth grade. There are between 650 and 700 students at the school, and there is one teacher for every 24 students. This shows that the school really values structured classroom teaching within the framework of a charter. The school helps students get ready for college by giving them more time to learn, focusing on reading and math, and setting clear academic goals from the start of the year. Hardy Brown College Prep also teaches students how to build their character and deal with their feelings and social situations so they can be successful in the future. Most of the students are minorities, mostly Hispanic and Black, and a lot of them come from families with low incomes. This is similar to the area around the school. According to U.S. News, 32 percent of students are good at math and 42 percent are good at English language arts (ELA). These numbers are lower than the state averages, but they are similar to what other urban charter schools that serve students with high needs see.

Hardy Brown College Prep is easy to get to and has a college-focused culture, but there is still room for academic growth.
