Summary

George Washington Elementary is a K–6 school in Lodi, California, serving 361 students in the Lodi Unified district. Its clearest academic strength is sixth-grade ELA, but science is the most urgent concern: proficiency fell from 19% in 2022–2023 to 9% in 2025–2026, the lowest result among the nearby schools.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools and the district, although all three subjects are below state results. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency was 35%, compared with 40% in the district, 49% statewide, and a 38% nearby-school average. Sixth-grade ELA stands out: 55% were proficient, above the district’s 40% and the state’s 48%, and the third-highest result among the nearby schools. Math proficiency was 27%, below the district’s 30%, the state’s 38%, and the nearby average of 33%. Science was 9%, versus 26% in the district, 36% statewide, and a 25% nearby average; it was below every nearby school.

Over time, ELA improved modestly, from 31% in 2022–2023 to 35% in 2025–2026, while math was nearly flat, moving from 26% to 27%; science declined by 10 percentage points. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 28th statewide percentile and gave it one star in 2025–2026; seven of the 10 nearby schools ranked higher. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 22.5, below the nearby average of 24.2. As context, 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with a 77% nearby average. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students percentile fell from 64 in 2024–2025 to 33 in 2025–2026, while the overall percentile moved from 29 to 28—a notable change in the school’s ranking for how well it serves that group.
