Summary

Louis J. Villalovoz Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 411 students in the Tracy Joint Unified School District, located in a community with significant economic need where about 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school is facing significant challenges, with its statewide ranking dropping sharply to the 27th percentile, earning it a 1-star rating for the current year. This decline is more pronounced than at many nearby schools. Performance is particularly low in 5th-grade science and shows inconsistent results between grade levels, with scores often dropping in upper grades. The school's effectiveness in supporting students with special needs and those from low-income families has also declined markedly. It's important to note that the school spends more per student ($17,457) than higher-performing district schools like George Kelly Elementary and South/West Park Elementary, raising questions about how resources are being used to support learning.

When compared to other schools, Villalovoz has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (22.7%) than some peers with similar demographics, such as Melville S. Jacobson Elementary and Central Elementary. However, its overall academic trajectory is concerning. The contrast with Primary Charter and the strong, stable performance of George Kelly Elementary within the same district suggests that improvements in curriculum alignment and targeted student support may be possible areas for focus to address the school's declining scores.
