Summary

Brookside is a highly-regarded K-8 elementary school serving 768 students in Stockton's Lincoln Unified School District, consistently ranking in the top 15% of all California schools.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, with student proficiency in English and Math significantly exceeding both district and state averages. A key strength is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.5%, which is less than half the rate of most neighboring schools like Don Riggio and Claudia Landeen, and is a major factor in its success. Brookside achieves these excellent outcomes while spending less per student than several nearby schools, demonstrating efficient use of resources.

Notably, Brookside excels at supporting all students, with particularly high rankings for its Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students. Its performance creates a dramatic "geographic performance cliff" compared to schools just blocks away, making it a standout not only in Lincoln Unified but in the wider Stockton area. The school has also shown impressive resilience, with attendance recovering to better than pre-pandemic levels much faster than the state or district averages.
