Summary

Elk Grove High is a public high school in Elk Grove, south of Sacramento, serving 1,684 students in grades 9–12. Its results show a mixed academic picture: English language arts is a strength and science has improved, while math remains the clearest academic concern.

In 2025–2026, 59% of students were proficient in English language arts, above the state’s 49% and the Elk Grove Unified district’s 54%; the school ranked fourth of 10 nearby high schools in the subject. Math proficiency was 31%, below the state’s 38% and district’s 44%, and ranked sixth locally—about even with the nearby-school average. Science proficiency was 41%, above the state’s 36%, district’s 37% and nearby-school average of 34%; the school ranked fourth locally. Graduation was 91%, above the state’s 88%, while chronic absenteeism was 25%, higher than the district’s 22% and state’s 18%.

Science has made the biggest recent gains: proficiency rose 14 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, moving from below to above both the state and district. ELA rose 4 points over that period, while math fell 1 point, widening its gap with the state. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 67th percentile, with 3 stars, in 2025–2026; it ranks fifth among the 11 nearby schools listed. The student-teacher ratio was 20.4:1 in 2024–2025, near the local average. In that same year, 47% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; California is identified in the data as a statewide-free-meals state, so consider this measure in that context. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Asian students was at the 28th percentile, 39 points below the school’s overall ranking. Its ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students rose from the 55th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 76th in 2025–2026.
