Summary

Ellerth E. Larson Elementary is a large K-6 school serving 890 students in the Lodi Unified School District, consistently performing above district and often state averages despite serving a population where a majority of students are economically disadvantaged.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, with proficiency rates in English and math that are significantly higher than the district average and outperform nearly all nearby schools, including George Washington Elementary, Heritage Elementary, and Beckman Elementary. Larson is particularly effective in supporting students with special needs and those from low-income families, and it maintains a lower rate of chronic student absenteeism than both the district and most surrounding schools, such as Clyde W. Needham Elementary.

While Larson's statewide ranking has dipped slightly recently, possibly linked to a higher student-teacher ratio, it remains a strong performer in its district. The main nearby exception is Vinewood Elementary, which scores higher across key metrics. Areas for attention include understanding performance variations among different student groups and addressing a dip in math scores in the 5th grade.
