Summary

McKinley Elementary serves 436 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Tracy, California. Its 2025–26 proficiency results were below the averages for both Tracy Joint Unified and California in English language arts (ELA), math and science. Among six nearby district elementary schools serving the same grades, McKinley ranked last in ELA and math and third-lowest in science. The most important finding for families is that its academic results are low across all three tested subjects, with the largest relative gaps in ELA and math.

Science is McKinley’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, the district and the state, while ELA is its weakest. McKinley’s proficiency rates were 18% in ELA, 16% in math and 18% in science; the averages at the five other nearby district K–5 schools were 31%, 26% and 22%, respectively. That puts McKinley 13 points below those peers in ELA, 10 points below in math and 4 points below in science. Compared with district averages, McKinley was behind by 24 points in ELA, 12 in math and 10 in science; its gaps to the state were 31, 22 and 18 points. In grade-level results, fifth-grade math stands out as a concern: 10% of students were proficient, 15 points below McKinley’s grade 4 result.

McKinley’s recent achievement trend is concerning, even as attendance has improved. ELA proficiency fell from 32% in 2023–24 to 18% in 2025–26, and math fell from 20% to 16%; over a longer period, science improved from 14% in 2022–23 to 18% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s ranking dropped from the 27th percentile in 2023–24 to the 7th percentile in 2025–26, with its rating falling from 1 star to 0 stars. The student-teacher ratio was 19.6 in 2024–25, the lowest among nearby schools with reported ratios; 83% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the second-highest share among nearby schools with the same measure. Chronic absenteeism fell from 41% in 2021–22 to 20% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for White Students was at the 1st percentile in 2022–23, compared with the school’s overall 19th percentile that year.
