Summary

Alice N. Stroud Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 379 students in Modesto, part of the Empire Union Elementary district, which ranks in the lower quarter of all California districts.

While the school's academic ranking has declined over the past decade and overall test scores are below state averages, it shows several key strengths. Most notably, it has dramatically improved student attendance, now having the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in its district at 15.6%, which is better than the California average. The school also outperforms its own district in mathematics, with particular strength in third-grade math where 50% of students are proficient. However, performance varies significantly by grade, and the school operates within a district context where nearby schools in other districts, like Lakewood Elementary (Modesto City) and Freedom Elementary (Sylvan Union), generally achieve higher test scores.

The comparison with these neighboring schools highlights a district performance gap, as all schools in the Empire Union Elementary district face similar academic challenges. Despite this, Alice N. Stroud's success in boosting attendance and its historical effectiveness with English Learners are positive signs. With over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's recent progress in getting students to class consistently could be a foundation for future academic improvement.
