of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 24% of California elementary schools

Summary

Cleveland Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 587 students in the Stockton Unified district, located in a high-need community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Cleveland consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of California elementary schools, it performs better in English and math than several nearby district schools like Madison Elementary, El Dorado Elementary, and Wilson Elementary. However, a notable comparison is with Rio Calaveras Elementary, a school with similar demographics less than two miles away that achieves significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism, suggesting different approaches can lead to different outcomes even in similar settings.

The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, though this rate has been improving. A critical area of concern is the severe underperformance of students in special education programs. Academic performance varies by grade, with middle school math and science being particular weak spots. Compared to some local charter schools, Cleveland spends less per student but serves a community with greater economic need, which is a common challenge across Stockton Unified schools.
