Summary

C. W. Dillard Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 443 students in Wilton, CA, as part of the Elk Grove Unified district, and it consistently ranks above average statewide, outperforming both district and state academic averages.

The school is particularly effective in supporting its students, achieving strong test scores in English, Math, and especially Science while maintaining a much lower rate of chronic absenteeism than many neighboring schools like Robert J. Fite Elementary and Arthur C. Butler Elementary. A standout strength is its remarkable success with economically disadvantaged students, where it ranks in the 91st percentile statewide, showing dramatic improvement from the previous year. While nearby Arnold Adreani Elementary achieves even higher overall scores, Dillard performs impressively well compared to other local schools with similar student demographics, such as Elk Grove Elementary.

Looking at specific grades, the school shows exceptional performance in 4th grade English and 5th grade Science, though 3rd grade Math is an area identified for potential growth. Compared to a local charter option, the California Montessori Project - Elk Grove Campus, Dillard serves a population with greater economic need yet posts higher proficiency rates. Overall, C. W. Dillard Elementary is a strong, consistent performer in the area that excels at supporting diverse learners and maintaining strong student attendance.
