Primary Years Academy

Summary:

Primary Years Academy is an elementary school located in Stockton, California, serving 251 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Stockton Unified School District, which is ranked 1289 out of 1568 districts in the state.

Primary Years Academy consistently outperforms the Stockton Unified School District and the state of California in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, 42.97% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 28.71% for Stockton Unified and 47.04% for California. In Mathematics, 36.72% of students were proficient or better, compared to 17.96% for Stockton Unified and 35.54% for California. The school's performance is particularly strong in 4th grade, where 59.38% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, and 62.5% were proficient or better in Mathematics. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.7% in 2018-2019 to 26.3% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

Primary Years Academy outperforms the nearby Wilson Elementary and Pittman Charter schools in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics proficiency rates. The nearby KIPP University Park and Aspire APEX Academy, both public charter schools, have lower proficiency rates than Primary Years Academy across most grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance for female students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is particularly strong, with these subgroups ranking higher than the overall school performance in many cases.

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.
