Summary
South/West Park Elementary serves grades K–5 and enrolls 806 students in Tracy, California, as part of Tracy Joint Unified. SchoolDigger places it at the 53rd percentile, with 3 stars, for 2025–2026. The main takeaway is that the school stands out most for science and mathematics compared with nearby K–5 schools.
Science and math are the school’s clearest strengths, while ELA is weaker against state benchmarks. In 2025–2026, 43% of students were proficient in science, about 7 percentage points above the state and 15 above the district; that was higher than any nearby K–5 school, with Central Elementary next at 22%. Math proficiency was 39%, just above the state’s 38% and 11 points above the district; it also led nearby K–5 schools, ahead of Wanda Hirsch Elementary by 4 points. ELA proficiency was 41%, 8 points below the state and 1 below the district, though second among nearby K–5 schools. Fourth grade is a particular concern: ELA was 36%, 10 points below the state, and math was 32%, 11 points below. Fifth-grade math and science were bright spots, each higher than results at nearby schools reporting that grade.
Across four years, science rose 16 percentage points, while ELA and math each improved by about 6 to 7 points overall; however, math fell from 42% in 2024–2025 to 39% in 2025–2026. The school’s SchoolDigger standing is solid rather than leading locally: fourth among nine nearby schools with a 2025–2026 ranking, and second among eight in its district. Its student–teacher ratio was 23.0 in 2024–2025, the second highest among nearby schools with reported figures, and 80% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves Special Education Students was at the 78th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the schoolwide 53rd; its measure for serving Hispanic Students was at the 28th percentile. Subgroup counts were not provided, so subgroup rankings should be read with caution.
