Summary

Erma B. Reese Elementary is a K–6 school in Lodi, California, with 593 students and is part of Lodi Unified. SchoolDigger ranks it at the 52nd percentile statewide and gives it 3 stars, the third-highest percentile among the ten nearby K–6 schools in the comparison. The most important takeaway is that Reese performs better than most nearby schools but remains below California’s proficiency level in English, math and science.

Reese’s strongest local results are in ELA and science, while math is its weakest overall subject. In 2025–26, proficiency was 46% in ELA, 36% in math and 30% in science—about 9, 4 and 7 points above the nearby-school averages, respectively. Reese ranked third among nearby schools in all three subjects. Still, it fell short of state results by 3 points in ELA, 2 in math and 6 in science; it exceeded district results by 6, 6 and 5 points. Fifth-grade math is a particular concern: 26% were proficient, 11 points below the state and 2 below the district. In contrast, third-grade math was 48%, above both. Sixth-grade ELA was also relatively weak at 40%, 8 points below the state.

Over time, ELA has been nearly flat, gaining 1 point from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while math fell 6 points and science fell 1. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile has also declined, from 72 in 2015–16 to 52 now. Its subgroup rankings show notable differences: Special Education Students rank at the 86th percentile, up 14 points since 2023–24, while Hispanic Students rank at the 38th percentile, down 15 points over that period. Reese’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 24.2, within the nearby range. Its 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 59%, below the nearby average of 79%; only Vinewood Elementary was lower. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–26 was 21%—better than the district’s 24%, but above the state’s 18% and up from Reese’s 17% low in 2023–24.
