Summary

Morris E. Dailey Charter Elementary is a 312-student K–5 school in Fresno, in the Fresno Unified area. In 2025–2026, it ranked 1,429th of 5,804 California schools, at the 75th percentile with four stars from SchoolDigger. The clearest takeaway for families is that Dailey had the strongest reported all-grade results among the eight nearby Fresno Unified schools with results in all three subjects.

Dailey was above both the state and district in English language arts (ELA), math and science: its results were 63% in ELA, 48% in math and 55% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide and 40%, 29% and 24% in Fresno Unified. Science is its strongest relative subject, with a 19-point lead over the state and 31 points over the district; math is its smallest lead, though still 10 points above the state and 19 above the district. Dailey also outpaced nearby schools: its closest ELA and math competitor was Homan Elementary, while Deborah A. Williams Elementary was closest in science. Science results are for fifth grade, so the all-grade comparison has a grade-span limitation. Chronic absenteeism was also low: 8%, versus 27% in the district and 18% statewide.

Results have improved overall since 2022–2023, but not every year: ELA rose 7 points and math 6 points over that period, then fell 5 and 8 points, respectively, in 2025–2026; science rose 5 points over the longer period and rebounded by 9 points in the latest year. Chronic absenteeism fell from 36% in 2021–2022 to 8% in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger’s current 75th-percentile standing is below Dailey’s 88th–96th percentile range in 2016–2019, and 5 points below its 2024–2025 percentile. Its 22.2 students per teacher in 2024–2025 was higher than nearby schools’ reported ratios. Also that year, 45% of students were free/reduced-price-lunch eligible, compared with 82.9%–95.9% at nearby schools reporting the same measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for White Students rose from 55 in 2022–2023 to 85 in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 80th percentile that year—a notable improvement in SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves that group.
