Summary

George Washington Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 361 students in the Lodi Unified School District, consistently ranking in the lower third of California elementary schools.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science well below both state averages and higher-performing neighbors like Vinewood Elementary. It serves a student population with high economic need, with nearly 90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, a characteristic it shares with other struggling area schools such as Clyde W. Needham Elementary and Heritage Elementary. Chronic absenteeism, while improved, remains higher than at many nearby schools.

Despite its overall low ranking, the school shows notable strengths in supporting specific student groups, ranking above average for its effectiveness with Special Education students and English Language Learners. There is also a consistent performance gap, with female students outperforming male students. The school spends more per student than some better-performing schools like Ellerth E. Larson Elementary, but academic progress has remained difficult to achieve consistently across all grades.
