Summary
Del Rey Elementary serves 234 students in grades K–6 in Del Rey, California, and is part of Sanger Unified. In 2025–26, its all-grade results were above California’s averages in English language arts (ELA) and math, but slightly below the state in science. The most important finding is that ELA and math have risen from below to above state averages.
Compared with nearby K–6 schools, Del Rey stands out in all three subjects: it ranked third of eight schools in ELA and math and second in science, and its results were 9, 9, and 13 percentage points above nearby-school averages, respectively. Against the state, Del Rey was 2 points higher in ELA and 7 points higher in math, but 1 point lower in science. It was above the district average in math by 2 points, while below the district in ELA by 4 points and science by 5 points. So, math is its clearest strength across local, district, and state comparisons; science is strong locally but remains its biggest gap against district and state benchmarks.
Results improved from 2022–23 to 2025–26: proficiency rose 14 percentage points in ELA, 12 in math, and 13 in science. Chronic absenteeism also fell substantially, from 30% in 2021–22 to 8% in 2025–26, below the district’s 13% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger ranked Del Rey at the 64th percentile statewide and gave it 3 stars in 2025–26; its rankings for Hispanic students (80th percentile) and students with low socioeconomic status (79th percentile) were higher, at 4 stars each. In 2024–25, 86% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. The student-teacher ratio was 20.3, the second-lowest among nearby schools with data; only Lincoln Elementary was lower, at 18.8.
