Summary

Morris E. Dailey Charter Elementary is a high-performing K-5 charter school serving 312 students within the Fresno Unified district, standing out for its strong academics and exceptional student attendance.

The school consistently outperforms its neighbors, with proficiency rates in English and math that are often double those of nearby schools like Homan Elementary and Hamilton Elementary. Perhaps most striking is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.7%, which is dramatically better than the district average and less than a quarter of the rate at schools such as Deborah A. Williams Elementary.

Dailey achieves these excellent results efficiently, spending significantly less per student than surrounding schools while maintaining a strong statewide ranking. The school has shown a powerful recovery since the pandemic and its success is consistent across different student groups, making it a notable standout in the local educational landscape.
