Summary:

Creekside Elementary is a public elementary school located in Stockton, California, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 541 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 out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Creekside Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 20.0% in 2017-2018 to 45.0% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. The school also consistently underperforms the Lodi Unified School District and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 18.64% of Creekside Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 37.78% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate at Creekside Elementary was even lower, with only 8.66% of students proficient or better, compared to 27.66% for the district and 35.54% for the state. Creekside Elementary struggles to support its diverse student population, with particularly low performance among Asian, African American, and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Creekside Elementary to nearby schools within the Lodi Unified School District, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming its peers. For example, John Muir Elementary, located just 0.57 miles away, consistently outperforms Creekside Elementary in test scores, with significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. Similarly, Podesta Ranch Elementary, located 1.33 miles away, also outperforms Creekside Elementary across multiple academic measures. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by Creekside Elementary, such as its high percentage of students from low-income families and struggles to support English Language Learners, will be crucial in improving student outcomes at the school.

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.
