Summary

William Daylor High is a small high school in Sacramento, serving 139 students in grades 9–12 as part of Elk Grove Unified. Its most pressing concern is the combination of very high absenteeism and low graduation outcomes: in 2025–2026, 80% of students were chronically absent, compared with 22% in the district and 18% statewide, while 69% graduated, versus 91% in the district and 88% statewide. Taken together, these figures make attendance and graduation the school’s most urgent challenges for families to consider.

Math is a relative strength, especially among nearby schools, while science is the weakest by that comparison. In 2025–2026, 31% of students were proficient in math—7 percentage points below the state and 13 below the district, but 14 points above the nearby-school average; only West Campus had a higher nearby result. ELA proficiency was 17%, 33 points below the state and 38 below the district, and 15 points below the nearby average. Science proficiency was 3%, 33 points below both the state and district and 17 points below the nearby average. The school’s 11th-grade math result also exceeded nine of the 10 nearby schools.

Results have improved in math and ELA, though science has lost ground relative to the state. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math proficiency rose from 0% to 31%, and ELA from 9% to 17%; science fell from 7% to 3%. SchoolDigger places the school at the 26th percentile with 1 star for 2025–2026, up from the 8th percentile in 2022–2023, while the district is at the 64th percentile with 3 stars. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 15.3, below the nearby-school average of about 20.3. Also in 2024–2025, 96% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible—the highest nearby figure, compared with a 74% nearby average. In SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings, the school’s measure of how well it serves English Language Learner Students rose from the 3rd percentile in 2022–2023 to the 76th in 2023–2024; its measure for Hispanic Students rose from the 6th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 32nd in 2025–2026. The English Language Learner ranking is not available for more recent years, and the school’s small enrollment means test results can shift with relatively few students.
