George W. Bush Elementary

Summary:

George W. Bush Elementary is a public K-8 school in Stockton, California, serving 791 students as part of the Stockton Unified School District. While the district as a whole has a 1-star rating, George W. Bush Elementary consistently outperforms the district average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels.

Notably, in the 2023-2024 school year, 42.92% of George W. Bush students were proficient or better in ELA End-of-Course, compared to just 28.71% for the district. In Mathematics, 24.34% of George W.

However, the school faces challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 11.4% in 2018-2019 to 34.5% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's Asian and English Language Learner student groups have the lowest rankings compared to other subgroups, suggesting the need for targeted interventions.

However, several local charter schools, like Aspire River Oaks Charter and Aspire Arts & Sciences Academy, tend to outperform George W. Bush Elementary, suggesting that the charter school model may be providing additional educational opportunities and resources for 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.
