Summary

Josephine Chrysler Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 621 students in Modesto, part of the Stanislaus Union Elementary district, which faces academic challenges across the board.

This school is currently facing significant academic difficulties, ranking in the bottom 7% of all California elementary schools with proficiency rates in English (18.8%) and math (14.5%) that are far below both the district and state averages. Its performance has declined notably in recent years. A major concern is chronic student absenteeism, which at 21.2% is higher than at most nearby schools, such as Agnes M. Baptist Elementary (6.9%) and Mary Lou Dieterich Elementary (12.3%). The school serves a student population where over 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need.

Interestingly, the school's challenges are not due to a lack of funding, as it spends over $19,000 per student, which is comparable to or more than some higher-performing neighbors. For example, George Eisenhut Elementary has a similar student economic profile and spending but achieves better academic results. This suggests the issues may be related to internal factors like curriculum consistency or how resources are used, highlighting an important area for potential improvement as the school works to support its students.
