Summary

August Knodt Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 642 students in Stockton, California, as part of the Manteca Unified School District, and it is currently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 18.3% of students proficient in English, 11% in math, and 11% in science, which is far below both state and district averages. This places it in the 1st percentile statewide, meaning it performs worse than 99% of California schools. Notably, this performance is lower than nearly all nearby schools, including those in the Stockton Unified district that serve similar student populations. For example, San Joaquin Elementary achieves much higher proficiency rates despite a comparable economic profile. August Knodt also struggles with chronic absenteeism, with 29.1% of students missing too much school.

Despite spending more per student than the state average and having a relatively lower student-teacher ratio, the school has experienced one of the most dramatic declines in performance in the area over the past five years. This trend is seen across nearly all student groups and suggests school-specific challenges, as other schools like Great Valley Elementary and French Camp Elementary in the same district have maintained more stable performance. The data indicates a pressing need for targeted support and intervention to address these academic challenges.
