Summary:

Lockeford Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Lockeford, CA, with 462 students. The school is part of the Lodi Unified School District, which is ranked 951 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lockeford Elementary faces significant challenges, with declining performance, equity issues, and lower test scores compared to the district and state averages. The school has seen a notable increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.1% in 2018-2019 to 29.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Lockeford Elementary's test scores are consistently lower than the Lodi Unified district and California state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with particularly low performance for White students and English Language Learners. However, the school's Special Education students have performed better, ranking in the top 25% of California elementary schools in the past.

Compared to nearby schools in the Lodi Unified district, Lockeford Elementary's performance is generally lower, with the exception of the small and low-performing Turner Academy at Tokay Colony. The higher-performing Joe Serna Junior Charter school, also located within the Lodi Unified district, suggests that there may be opportunities for Lockeford Elementary to learn from successful practices. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as chronic absenteeism, resource allocation, and instructional practices, will be crucial for Lockeford Elementary to improve and better serve its students.

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.
