Summary

George Kelly Elementary is a K–8 school in Tracy, California, with 929 students, making it the largest of the nearby schools in the comparison. Its 2025–2026 results show a clear strength in English language arts (ELA): 53% of students were proficient, the highest result among 10 nearby schools.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, its district and California: proficiency was 11 points above Tracy Joint Unified, 4 points above the state, and 16 points above the nearby-school average. Mathematics was also strong at 42%—14 points above the district, 4 above the state and 10 above the nearby average—ranking second among the nearby schools. Science was more mixed: 34% was 2 points below California, but 7 points above the district and 8 above the nearby average; it ranked third among the nine nearby schools with results. Grade-level results reveal sharper differences: grade 6 and 8 ELA were each 16 points above the state, while grade 7 ELA was 9 points below. In math, grades 3–5 were below the state, while grades 6–8 were above it.

Over four years, ELA fell from 58% to 53%, and science from 38% to 34%; mathematics edged up from 41% to 42%. The school’s lead over California narrowed in all three subjects. SchoolDigger’s overall rating also fell from the 72nd percentile and 4 stars in 2022–2023 to the 60th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026, though its local standing remains high. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 20.6:1, and 61% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s subgroup ratings point to a particular concern in how well the school serves White Students: their percentile was 18 in 2025–2026, down from 50 in 2023–2024, while the school overall was at the 60th percentile.
