Summary

Josephine Chrysler Elementary serves 621 students in grades K–6 in Modesto, California. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 18% in English language arts (ELA), 12% in mathematics, and 10% in science; it had the lowest all-grades results in all three subjects among the 10 nearby schools with scores.

The school trails both the state and the Stanislaus Union Elementary district in every subject: ELA was 31 percentage points below the state and 20 below the district, mathematics was 26 and 17 points lower, and science was 26 and 18 points lower. It also fell short of the nearby-school averages—by 21 points in ELA, 18 in mathematics, and 13 in science. Science is comparatively closest to the nearby average, but remains a substantial gap. Chronic absenteeism is another concern: the school’s 2025–26 rate was 23%, compared with 18% statewide and 15% districtwide.

Results have declined overall since 2022–23, while state scores rose; the gap to the state widened by 5 points in ELA, 7 in mathematics, and 8 in science. Attendance has improved more clearly: chronic absenteeism fell from 42% in 2021–22 to 23% in 2025–26, though it ticked up from the prior year. SchoolDigger gave the school a 4th-percentile statewide rank and 0 stars in 2025–26, the lowest rank among nearby schools; its student-teacher ratio was 21.9 in 2024–25, near the middle of the nearby range. For context, 93% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, the highest nearby figure. One notable subgroup result is Special Education Students: SchoolDigger ranked how well the school served this group at the 73rd percentile in 2023–24, compared with the school’s overall 17th percentile that year; the subgroup rank fell to the 35th percentile in 2024–25, while the overall rank was 7th.
