Summary

John Muir Elementary is a K–6 school in Stockton’s Lodi Unified district, with 559 students. Among 10 nearby schools, it has the highest SchoolDigger overall percentile and the lowest chronic-absenteeism rate. Most importantly, its 2025–26 proficiency rates were above California and district results in all three tested subjects: English language arts (ELA), math, and science.

John Muir’s strongest nearby-school placement is in ELA, where it ranked first; it ranked second in math and science. Its proficiency rates were 50% in ELA, 46% in math, and 40% in science, compared with nearby-school averages of 31%, 25%, and 19%. Math is its clearest advantage over the state and district: John Muir was 7 points above California and 15 points above Lodi Unified. Its ELA lead over the state was narrower, at 1 point. Results also vary by grade: sixth-grade ELA was a bright spot at 55%, while fifth-grade math was 37%, just 0.16 points above the state rate.

Proficiency has declined since 2022–23: ELA fell 11 points, math 7, and science 7, while the school’s leads over state results narrowed. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 ranking was at the 65th percentile with 3 stars, down from the 79th percentile and 4 stars in 2022–23, though still the highest percentile among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Special Education Students was at the 29th percentile in 2025–26, down 34 points from 2023–24—a notably lower and recently falling standing than the school’s overall ranking. Context includes a 24.2 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25, compared with 23.3 nearby, and 65% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25, versus an 81% nearby average. Chronic absenteeism, by contrast, improved to 15% in 2025–26, below the state’s 18% and district’s 24%.
