Summary

Gehringer Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 663 students in Oakley, part of the Oakley Union Elementary district, and it generally performs better than other schools in its own district in core subjects like English and Math.

When compared to nearby schools, Gehringer stands out for using its resources efficiently, achieving solid academic results while spending less per student than district peers like Almond Grove Elementary and Oakley Elementary. The school has also made impressive progress in improving student attendance, with its chronic absenteeism rate now lower than both the district and state averages. However, a look at the wider area shows that schools in the neighboring Brentwood Union district, such as Isaac R. Montanez Elementary, typically achieve higher proficiency rates.

Academically, Gehringer shows strengths in English Language Arts, where scores improve significantly from 3rd to 5th grade, but faces a notable challenge with a drop in 5th-grade Math scores, a pattern seen across the district. While the school's statewide ranking has gradually declined over the past decade, it remains a stable and competitive option within its home district, effectively serving its diverse student community.
