Summary

Colonial Heights is a K–8 school in Stockton’s Lincoln Unified, serving 547 students. Among 11 nearby schools, it has the lowest student-teacher ratio and ranks third by SchoolDigger percentile, but its academic results vary by subject. The key takeaway is that science is a clear local strength, while mathematics is the school’s most significant academic weakness, particularly compared with the state.

In 2025–26, 26% of students were proficient in science, the highest result among the 11 nearby schools and 11 points above their 15% average; the result was still 4 points below the district and 10 below the state. ELA proficiency was 35%—fourth among the nearby schools and 8 points above their average—but 11 points below the district and 14 below the state. Mathematics proficiency was 19%, close to the nearby average of 18.8% (a 1-point advantage), but 10 points below the district and 19 below the state; the school ranked fifth among the 11. These comparisons show why a relatively strong standing among nearby schools does not always mean results are close to broader benchmarks.

Results have moved in different directions over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, science proficiency rose 7 percentage points, ELA rose 3, and math fell 3; math’s gap below the state widened by 6 points. Chronic absenteeism improved from 34% in 2021–22 to 23% in 2025–26, though the latest rate remained 5 points above the state. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 rating was the 31st percentile, rank 3,978 of 5,804, with two stars—up from the 23rd percentile and one star the prior year, but below the district’s 41st percentile. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 21.7, compared with 22.2 to 26.1 at nearby schools; 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup percentiles were notably higher than the overall result for Hispanic students (50th) and students receiving special education services (48th), compared with 31st overall.
