Summary

French Camp Elementary serves 581 students in grades K–8 in French Camp, California. In 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked it at the 13th statewide percentile and awarded it 1 star, even though it compared favorably with many nearby K–8 schools. The clearest relative strength is science: French Camp ranked second among nearby K–8 schools with results, with 21% proficiency.

Results were below Manteca Unified and state levels in all three subjects. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency was 25%, compared with 35% in the district and 49% statewide; math was 16%, versus 23% and 38%; science was 21%, versus 23% and 36%. Locally, however, French Camp ranked third among nine nearby K–8 schools in both ELA and math, and second in science. Grade-level results are uneven: grade 5 was a bright spot, with the highest nearby math and science results and the second-highest ELA result. Grade 6 ELA and grade 8 math were weaker by comparison.

Math and science have improved overall since 2022–2023, while ELA has changed little: math rose from 12% to 16%, and science from 8% to 21%; ELA slipped from 26% to 25%. Science’s state gap narrowed from 22 points to 15, while ELA fell further behind the state. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking has declined from the 24th percentile in 2014–2015 to the 13th in 2025–2026, although French Camp ranks near the top of its nearby group. SchoolDigger also placed Migrant Students at the 69th statewide percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 13th percentile—a notably stronger result for that group. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 24.3, and 84% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism improved from 38% in 2021–2022 to 25% in 2025–2026, but remained 3 percentage points above the district and 7 above the state.
