Elementary Schools in San Leandro Unified

Summary:

This analysis covers eight elementary schools (grades K-5) in the San Leandro Unified district, which ranks in the 34th percentile statewide, highlighting a mix of standout performers and schools facing significant challenges within a predominantly economically disadvantaged area.

Among the schools, Madison Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary are top performers, both earning 4-star ratings and scoring well above district averages in core subjects. In contrast, Garfield Elementary and Jefferson Elementary are the lowest-ranked, with proficiency scores far below state averages and the highest rates of chronic absenteeism in the district.

Key takeaways show a strong link between lower chronic absenteeism and higher school performance, and that higher per-student spending does not guarantee better results, as some of the highest-spending schools are the lowest performers. The district's overall academic performance lags behind the state average, particularly in mathematics, with a notable weakness in 4th-grade math across most schools.
