Summary

Del Sur Senior Elementary is a public K-8 school serving 763 students in Lancaster, CA, within the Westside Union Elementary district, which has seen a significant decline in its statewide academic ranking over the past decade, now placing in the bottom quarter of all California schools.

Key metrics show the school faces considerable challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science notably below both district and state averages, and it has the highest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools in its district at 27-to-1. While the school spends less per student than most comparison schools, analysis shows that higher spending does not automatically mean better results, as some lower-spending schools like Gregg Anderson Academy perform very well. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, which at 24.1% is higher than average and correlates with lower performance; for comparison, the high-performing Gregg Anderson Academy has an absenteeism rate of just 11.2%.

Despite overall struggles, Del Sur shows a relative strength in serving special education students. The school's performance varies greatly by grade, with 8th-grade English scores above the district average while 6th-grade scores are far below, suggesting uneven support across grades. The stark performance difference between Del Sur and other schools in the same district, like Quartz Hill Elementary, indicates that localized factors such as instruction, school culture, and community engagement are critical for student success.
