McKinley Elementary

Summary:

McKinley Elementary is a public K-8 school in Stockton, California, serving 757 students as part of the Stockton Unified School District. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating very poor performance compared to other schools in the state.

McKinley Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, poor academic performance, and a high concentration of students from low-income families. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are around 10-20 percentage points lower than the district and state averages, with particularly low performance in Mathematics. These academic struggles are especially pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, Low Socioeconomic Status students, Disabled students, and Hispanic students.

While the nearby Spanos (Alex G.) Elementary, San Joaquin Elementary, and Nightingale Charter schools generally perform better than McKinley Elementary, they still struggle compared to the state averages, indicating broader systemic challenges within the Stockton Unified School District. The only school that appears to outperform the district and state is Great Valley Elementary, which is located just outside the Stockton Unified district in the Manteca Unified district.

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.
