Summary

Stanton Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 515 students in the Castro Valley Unified district, performing above the state average but facing distinct challenges within its high-performing local context.

When compared to other schools in its own district, Stanton's academic results are lower, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science trailing behind schools like Proctor Elementary and Chabot Elementary. The school has a higher rate of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.3%, which is higher than the district average. Performance varies significantly by grade, with a notable drop in 4th-grade math, and among different student groups, with Asian and White students scoring below the school's overall ranking while English Learners have historically excelled.

Despite these internal district gaps, Stanton dramatically outperforms elementary schools in neighboring districts like Hayward Unified and San Lorenzo Unified, such as Colonial Acres Elementary and Harder Elementary. This highlights the strength of the Castro Valley district overall. For improvement, Stanton could focus on reducing absenteeism, ensuring consistent teaching across grade levels, and applying strategies from higher-performing schools within its district.
