August Elementary

Summary:

August Elementary is a public K-8 school in Stockton, California, serving 548 students. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

August Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, well below-average academic performance, and a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.84% of August Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 28.71% for the Stockton Unified School District and 47.04% for the state of California. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as 3rd-grade and 6th-grade students.

When comparing August Elementary to other nearby schools in the Stockton Unified School District, it becomes clear that August Elementary is one of the lowest-performing schools in the district. For instance, Valentine Peyton Elementary and Rio Calaveras Elementary, both within 2 miles of August Elementary, significantly outperform August Elementary in academic achievement and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite being a long-standing school, August Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its performance over the past decade, indicating a need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies and resources.

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.
