Summary

Stanislaus Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 307 students in Modesto's Stanislaus Union Elementary District, and it stands out as a consistently improving school that has earned a 4-star rating and now ranks in the top 30% of all California elementary schools.

The school excels academically, with student proficiency in English, math, and science significantly surpassing both district and state averages, and it performs particularly well compared to nearby schools like Agnes M. Baptist Elementary. A major strength is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.3%, which is far better than the state average and most area schools, indicating a strong, engaging school culture that keeps students coming to class. Furthermore, the school demonstrates exceptional effectiveness in supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide for that subgroup.

Stanislaus Elementary's success is notable because it outperforms other schools in its own district, such as Mary Lou Dieterich Elementary, and even nearby charter schools like Great Valley Academy - Salida, despite serving a community with a similar level of economic need. With a favorable student-teacher ratio and a clear record of annual improvement, Stanislaus Elementary has established itself as a high-achieving model within the local educational landscape.
