5111^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 12% of California elementary schools

Summary

Del Paso Heights Elementary serves 477 students in grades K–6 in Sacramento, within Twin Rivers Unified. Its 2025–2026 results show that all-grade proficiency was below both district and California averages in English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA), math, and science—the clearest overall concern for families.

Science is closest to nearby schools and the district, while math has the smallest gap to the state. Del Paso Heights had 14% proficiency in science, compared with 15% at nearby schools and 21% in the district; its 18% in math was 9 percentage points below the district and 20 below the state. ELA was 23%, 13 points below the district and 26 below the state. There are also important differences by grade: sixth-grade ELA proficiency was 35%, third-highest among ten local schools, while fourth-grade math was 12%, 19 points below the district and the second-lowest result in that local group.

Results have shifted over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 4 percentage points, math fell 2, and science rose 2 but fluctuated considerably. Chronic absenteeism also rebounded, from 32% in 2024–2025 to 46% in 2025–2026. Del Paso Heights was at the 12th percentile, ranked 5,111 of 5,804, and received one star in SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ratings. Its student–teacher ratio was 24.4 in 2024–2025, and 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the second-highest rate among nearby schools; these are context, not explanations for results. SchoolDigger’s measure suggests stronger relative standing for English Language Learner Students: they ranked at the 56th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with 14th overall. Its standing for Special Education Students fell from the 52nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 30th in 2025–2026.
