Stockdale Elementary

Summary:

Stockdale Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bakersfield, California, serving around 600 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Panama-Buena Vista Union School District, which is ranked 790 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Stockdale Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, 56.25% of Stockdale students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to 46.16% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, 51.04% of Stockdale students were proficient or better, compared to 30.2% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school's performance is particularly strong in 6th grade, where 61.54% of students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy and 43.04% were proficient or better in Mathematics. Stockdale Elementary also performs exceptionally well for its male and Hispanic student populations, ranking in the top quartile of California elementary schools for these subgroups.

Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 54.83% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Stockdale Elementary is able to maintain strong academic performance. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.0% in the 2017-2018 school year to 20.2% in the 2022-2023 school year. This trend warrants further investigation and targeted interventions. Interestingly, the nearby Ronald Reagan Elementary, which is part of the Rosedale Union Elementary School District, outperforms Stockdale Elementary in both ELA/Literacy and Mathematics, suggesting that factors beyond just the school district may play a significant role in academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
