Elk Grove Unified

The Elk Grove Unified School District in California serves 67 schools, including 43 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, 13 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The district is known for its diverse student population and a range of academic performance across its schools.

Several schools stand out as top performers in the district, including Pleasant Grove High School, which consistently ranks among the top 200 high schools in California, and Cosumnes Oaks High School, which also ranks in the top 300 schools in the state. At the elementary level, Zehnder Ranch Elementary and Elliott Ranch Elementary are among the top 500 elementary schools in California, with exceptional test scores.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the district, particularly in areas like graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism. The alternative and continuation schools, such as Las Flores High and Daylor (William) High, consistently perform at much lower levels than the traditional high schools. This highlights the unique challenges these schools face in serving their student populations and the need for targeted interventions to support all students in the Elk Grove Unified School District.
