Summary

North Elementary serves 722 students in grades K–8 in Tracy, California. Its most important challenge is that achievement is low across all three reported subjects: in 2025–2026, 25% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 11% in math, and 19% in science.

Science is North’s strongest subject compared with the district and state, while math has the largest state gap. North’s science proficiency was 8 points below the Tracy Joint Unified rate and 17 points below the state; its math rate was 17 points below the district and 27 below the state. ELA was 17 points below the district and 24 below the state. North also trailed each of the three nearby K–8 schools with results—Gladys Poet-Christian Elementary, Art Freiler, and Banta Charter—in every subject. Their average proficiency was about 38% in ELA, 25% in math, and 27% in science.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose by about 2 points and science by 7, while math fell by about 1 point. Chronic absenteeism also remains a concern: it was 27% in 2025–2026, compared with 21% districtwide and 18% statewide, although North’s rate has fallen from 36% in 2021–2022. SchoolDigger ranked North in the 6th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, at 5,455 of 5,804, with 0 stars; the district was in the 38th percentile with 2 stars. North’s student–teacher ratio was 22.5 in 2024–2025. That year, 92% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, the highest reported rate among nearby schools; the data identify California as a statewide-free-meals state, but this is North’s own eligibility rate. A notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is Special Education Students at the 46th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with North’s overall 6th percentile; the subgroup ranking rose from the 11th percentile the year before.
