Lets cover off Elk Grove first. Elk Grove is a city in Sacramento County, California, located just south of the state capital of Sacramento.
It is part of the Sacramento–Arden-Arcade–Roseville Metropolitan Statistical Area. State population estimates place the city’s population at 136,318 as of January 1, 2007.
Due to its rapid growth, Elk Grove has earned the title of the fastest growing city in the U.S. Elk Grove is the second-largest city in Sacramento County.
The incorporated city boundaries are larger than the census-designated place boundaries set by the Census in 2000.
The Elk Grove Unified School District is the 5th largest school district in California and one of the fastest growing school districts in the nation. Located in southern Sacramento County, the district covers 320 square miles (830 km2), one-third of the county.
For the 2002-03 school year, the district served more than 52,500 students, and expects to reach 73,000 students by 2010. Those students attend 38 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, 8 high schools and 4 alternative high schools.
The school district recently opened a new middle/high school, Pinkerton Middle and Cosumnes Oaks High. The new school opens just as the school district enters its 50th year of existence during the 2008-2009 school year.
