Summary:
ZIP code 93616 has one school, Del Rey Elementary, serving kindergarten through sixth grade and enrolling 234 students. Chronic absenteeism was 8% in 2025–2026, lower than the 13% reported for Sanger Unified and 18% statewide. The most important academic finding is that Del Rey’s math proficiency was 7 percentage points above California’s in 2025–2026.
With only one school in the ZIP-code list, there is no local top-to-bottom comparison; Del Rey is the only option shown. Its strongest subject was math: 46% of students were proficient, versus 38% statewide and 44% districtwide. ELA was also slightly above the state, at 51% versus 49%, but below the district’s 55%. Science was its weakest result: 35% were proficient, just below the state’s 36% and the district’s 39%. In other words, the school’s above-state math result does not extend to every subject or put it ahead of the district overall.
Results improved in the two subjects with year-to-year comparisons: ELA rose from 47% in 2024–2025 to 51% in 2025–2026, while science climbed from 26% to 35%, narrowing its gap with the state to 1 percentage point. Grade-level results add useful detail: math was above the state in all four reported grades, but the advantage ranged from 16 points in third grade to less than 1 point in sixth; sixth-grade ELA was 3 points below the state. SchoolDigger gives Del Rey a 3-star rating and ranks it at the 64th statewide percentile (2,074 of 5,804), up from the 57th percentile in 2023–2024. For context, the school’s student-teacher ratio was 20.3 in 2024–2025, and 86% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these figures describe the school, but do not explain its test results.
