Summary

George Kelly Elementary is a large K-8 public school serving 929 students in Tracy, part of the Tracy Joint Unified School District, and it stands out as a strong performer within its district.

Academically, the school consistently scores above both district and state averages in English, math, and science, with a particular strength in supporting English learners and students from low-income families. It also maintains a much lower rate of chronic student absences (15.7%) compared to many nearby schools like McKinley Elementary (25.7%) and Central Elementary (29.6%). Interestingly, George Kelly achieves these solid results while spending less per student than several other schools in the district, suggesting efficient use of resources.

While George Kelly is a leader within its district, cross-district comparisons show that schools like Monticello Elementary in the higher-performing Jefferson Elementary District rank higher overall. Parents should note that middle-grade English is a strength, but 8th-grade math scores are an area for growth. The school has also successfully maintained its academic standing despite a recent increase in the number of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
