Summary:
The 95209 zip code area is home to 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, spread across the Lodi Unified and Lincoln Unified school districts. While the overall performance of these schools varies, a few standouts emerge, including Elkhorn middle school, which consistently ranks among the top in the state, and Podesta Ranch and Julia Morgan elementary schools, which also perform exceptionally well.
The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across the schools, with some, like Delta Sierra Middle and Creekside Elementary, struggling with proficiency rates well below district and state averages. This disparity seems to correlate with socioeconomic factors, as the schools with the highest rates of free and reduced-price lunch tend to have the lowest academic performance.
The data also highlights the challenges faced by alternative schools, such as Plaza Robles Continuation High, which has significantly lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and lower proficiency compared to the traditional high school, Bear Creek High. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is a concern at several schools, particularly the lower-performing ones, which can be a significant barrier to student success.
