Summary

Adams Elementary is a K–8 school with 492 students in Stockton, California, serving a community in Stockton Unified. Its 2025–2026 test results were low compared with the state and nearby schools: 18% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 9% in math and 14% in science. The most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism: 46% of students were chronically absent, the highest reported rate among nearby schools, compared with 31% districtwide and 18% statewide.

Across subjects, Adams trails the district, state and nearby-school averages, with math its weakest subject in the local comparison. Its 9% math proficiency was the lowest among 10 nearby schools with data, versus a 22% nearby average, 18% for the district and 38% statewide. ELA was 18%, tied with Parklane Elementary for the lowest nearby result; it was 12 percentage points below the district and 32 below the state. Science is a relative bright spot: Adams’ 14% was fourth-lowest among 10 nearby schools and 4 points below the district, while three nearby schools scored lower. Fifth-grade science stands out: Adams’ 23% exceeded the district’s 17% and the results at four nearby schools, though it remained below the state’s 35%. Seventh-grade results are especially concerning: only 13% were proficient in ELA and 2% in math, the lowest results among nearby schools serving that grade.

Science has improved, rising from 7% in 2022–2023 to 14% in 2025–2026, while ELA and math edged down over that period. SchoolDigger ranked Adams at the 4th statewide percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 8th percentile in 2022–2023; nearby Parklane Elementary was next-lowest, at the 5th percentile. Adams’ 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 23.6, close to the nearby average. In that same school year, 84% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, similar to Pulliam Elementary at 84%; these figures are context, not an explanation for score differences. One notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger ranked Adams at the 29th percentile for Special Education Students in 2025–2026, compared with its 4th-percentile overall ranking.

Open Quote My daughter was assaulted on campus and they were only going to use consequences if my daughter defended herself as she got punched numerous times in the back of her head.Because my daughter didnt fight back they showed favoritism and brushed it under the carpet for the other girl.They were only concerned about my daughter being present, when I kept her out of school for a few days to ensure the safety of my daughter as they were unable to do so. They were only concerned because those were days they didnt get paid for!!!!!!The only time they seem concerned is when it comes to test scores which effect their ratings and proves the integrity of how the school is run!!!!
