George Washington Elementary

Summary:

George Washington Elementary is a public K-8 school in Stockton, California, serving 199 students as part of the Stockton Unified School District, which is ranked 1289 out of 1568 districts in the state.

George Washington Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with very low performance compared to other schools. The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 16.1% to 42.7%, well above district and state averages. Across all grade levels and subject areas, George Washington students perform well below the Stockton Unified and California state averages, with only 21.21% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 13.97% in math. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students, 83.09% to 90.95%, qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools, George Washington Elementary generally performs the worst on test scores and other key metrics. For example, its ELA and math proficiency rates are the lowest among the schools analyzed. The school's high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 18.6 to 20.7, may contribute to the academic challenges. However, one bright spot is the performance of the school's English Language Learner students, who rank higher than the school's overall performance on many metrics, suggesting opportunities to learn from effective practices for that population.

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.
