Summary

Cleveland Elementary is a 587-student K–8 school in Stockton Unified, serving families in Stockton, California. Its 2025–2026 results show a mixed picture: students’ proficiency in English language arts (ELA) and math is higher than the district’s, but below the state’s; the clearest concern is science, where Cleveland also falls behind the district and most nearby schools.

ELA and math are Cleveland’s strongest subjects compared with nearby schools: its proficiency rates were 36% in ELA and 29% in math, above nearby-school averages of 32% and 23%. Cleveland ranked third-highest among the ten nearby schools with results in both subjects. It also outperformed Stockton Unified in ELA (30%) and math (18%), though it remained below state rates of 49% and 38%. Science was weaker: Cleveland’s 16% proficiency was below the district’s 19%, the state’s 36%, and the nearby-school average of 21%; it ranked third-lowest among the ten nearby schools with results. Nearby averages include nine schools with results in ELA and math and nine in science.

Results have improved overall since 2022–2023: proficiency rose 5 points in ELA, 7 in math and 8 in science, and the gap with the state narrowed in all three subjects. However, science declined from 20% in 2024–2025 to 16% in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger places Cleveland at the 29th percentile statewide, with 1 star—below the state midpoint, but third-highest among nine nearby schools with rankings. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 23.1 in sy 2024–2025 and 84% free/reduced lunch eligible in sy 2024–2025. One notable subgroup result is SchoolDigger’s measure of how effectively the school serves Special Education Students: the group ranked at the 62nd percentile in sy 2025–2026, up from the 4th percentile the year before, while the school’s overall ranking was at the 29th percentile in 2025–2026.
