El Dorado Elementary

Summary:

El Dorado Elementary is a public K-8 school in Stockton, California, serving 542 students. The school is part of the Stockton Unified School District, which is ranked 1289 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

El Dorado Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 26.3% in 2017-2018 to 53.6% in 2022-2023, much higher than the district and state averages. The school also consistently underperforms the district and state in academic assessments, with only 17.43% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 11.86% in Mathematics, compared to 28.71% and 17.96% for the district, respectively. This poor performance is also lower than nearby schools like Pittman Charter, Cleveland Elementary, and Primary Years Academy.

The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at El Dorado Elementary, with 86.16% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 24.9, higher than nearby schools like Primary Years Academy and Stockton Collegiate International Elementary. Despite these challenges, the data suggests that with targeted interventions and support, El Dorado Elementary may be able to improve student outcomes and provide a better educational experience for 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.
