Elementary Schools in Stockton Unified

The Stockton Unified School District in California contains 41 elementary schools serving grades K-8, with student populations ranging from 199 to 1,007. While the district as a whole is ranked 1289 out of 1568 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools within the district are performing significantly better than the district and state averages.

Commodore Stockton Skills, Rio Calaveras Elementary, and Valentine Peyton Elementary all rank in the top 50% of California elementary schools, with strong performance in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, Primary Years Academy stands out with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the other schools in the data set.

However, the data also reveals significant challenges facing the Stockton Unified School District, including high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 52.6%, and a wide range of free/reduced lunch rates, from 33.64% to 92.36%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage across the district. These factors likely contribute to the overall low performance, with some schools struggling to meet even 20% proficiency in core subjects. Addressing these disparities and implementing targeted interventions will be crucial for improving student outcomes across the district.
