Better than 16% of California elementary schools

Summary

Phillip M. Stokoe Elementary serves 621 students in grades K–5 in Riverside, California, and is the second-largest of the ten nearby schools in this comparison. In 2025–2026, proficiency was below both state and district rates in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The clearest concern is ELA and math: Stokoe ranked second-lowest among itself and eight nearby K–5 schools in both subjects.

ELA is Stokoe’s weakest subject relative to the state and district: 26% of students were proficient, compared with 49% statewide and 39% in the Alvord Unified district, gaps of 24 and 13 percentage points. Math proficiency was 22%, versus 38% statewide and 26% in the district. Among nearby K–5 peers, Stokoe’s ELA and math results were 8 and 7 points below the peer averages of 33% and 29%. Science is a relative local strength: its 23% proficiency ranked fourth-lowest among the nine K–5 schools, and was 3 points below the peer average. Still, science was 13 points below the state and 4 below the district.

Results have been mixed over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell by 2 points, while math rose by less than 1 point and science rose by 2 points; all three gaps with the state widened. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also slipped from the 24th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 16th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026, when Stokoe ranked second-lowest among nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism improved, falling from 39% in 2021–2022 to 19% in 2025–2026, matching the district rate and nearly matching the state’s 18%. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 22.5, and 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, near the middle of the local range. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result was Homeless Students at the 83rd percentile and 4 stars in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 26th percentile that year; the English Language Learner Students ranking also dropped from the 57th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 28th in 2023–2024.
