Summary

Ladd Lane Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 767 students in the Hollister School District, performing around the middle of all California schools with a 2-star rating.

Within its own district, Ladd Lane is a relatively strong performer, ranking second among seven schools in core subjects and showing particular effectiveness in supporting special education students and English learners. The school has made impressive progress on student attendance, significantly reducing chronic absenteeism to a rate that is now better than several nearby schools like Sunnyslope Elementary and Cerra Vista Elementary. It also achieves these outcomes while spending less per student than some lower-performing peers, such as R. O. Hardin Elementary.

However, the school faces a serious challenge with a dramatic drop in academic performance in the middle school grades, especially in 6th and 8th grade math. This pattern is less severe at other local K-8 schools like Spring Grove Elementary and Hollister Dual Language Academy. Like other schools in the Hollister district, Ladd Lane's overall performance trails behind nearby charter schools and schools in other districts, such as Hollister Prep and Southside Elementary, which serve similar student populations but achieve higher proficiency rates.
