Summary
Wagner-Holt Elementary serves 417 students in grades K–6 in Stockton, California, and is part of Lodi Unified. In 2025–2026, students’ proficiency was below both the state and district rates in English language arts (ELA), math and science: 26%, 21% and 20%, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. The gaps with the district were 14, 10 and 6 percentage points, respectively. The most important academic concern is ELA, where the school’s shortfall is largest against both the district and state.
Among six nearby K–6 schools, Wagner-Holt was below the average in all three subjects, but science was its closest result to peers: the school was 5 percentage points below the nearby average in science, compared with 10 points in ELA and 12 in math. It was not the lowest-scoring K–6 neighbor in any subject. Results vary by grade, too: third-grade math proficiency was 38%, close to the district’s 38%, while fifth-grade ELA was 17%, 22 points below the district and 32 below the state. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 33% in 2025–2026, the second-highest rate among 10 nearby schools, behind Creekside Elementary at 39%.
Math and science have improved since 2022–2023, rising 5 percentage points each, while ELA edged down by 1 point; over that period, only math narrowed its gap with the state. Chronic absenteeism has fallen 15 points since its 2021–2022 peak of 49%, but remains 9 points above the district and 15 above the state. SchoolDigger places Wagner-Holt at the 16th statewide percentile with 1 star, up from the 8th percentile and 0 stars the year before. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 22.5, below the nearby average of 23.2; 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby average of 77%. One subgroup result stands out: SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 76th percentile for English Language Learner Students in 2023–2024, up from the 42nd percentile the year before and well above its 17th-percentile overall ranking that year.
