Summary

Erma B. Reese Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 593 students in the Lodi Unified School District, performing above the district average in a challenging educational environment.

The school consistently outperforms the district in core subjects, especially in mathematics, and has a lower rate of chronic absenteeism than most nearby schools, including Lawrence Elementary and Heritage Elementary. A particular strength is its effective support for special education students. While the school achieves these results efficiently with its resources, it faces challenges in science instruction and shows varying performance across different grade levels, with a notable dip in middle-grade math scores.

Compared to other schools in the area, Erma B. Reese is one of the stronger performers, ranking second highest among its peers, though it trails the top-performing Vinewood Elementary. The school has experienced a gradual decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, and performance trends differ among various student groups, indicating areas where the school's approaches are highly effective and others that may need renewed focus.
