Summary

McKinley Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 454 students in the San Leandro Unified school district, currently ranked in the lower third of California elementary schools with a notable recent decline in its statewide rating.

The school faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.6%, which is higher than the district and state averages, and academic proficiency rates below state benchmarks in all core subjects. However, the data reveals some important strengths: McKinley performs notably better for specific student groups, such as African American students and English Learners, where its rankings are significantly higher than the school's overall score. It also shows a relative strength in mathematics compared to the district average, and student proficiency in English appears to improve in the upper grades.

When compared to nearby schools, McKinley's performance is mixed. It ranks below higher-performing schools in its own district like Madison Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary, but its challenges are contextualized when looking at schools in neighboring districts like Oakland Unified. The school spends less per student than some peers with similar demographics, such as Jefferson Elementary, yet has a higher student-teacher ratio.
