Summary

El Dorado Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 554 students in the Stockton Unified district, operating in a high-need community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom percentiles statewide with test scores well below district and state averages. A critical issue is chronic absenteeism, with nearly half of students missing too much school—a rate more than double the state average and the highest among nearby schools like Wilson Elementary and Madison Elementary. This high absenteeism is closely linked to its low academic performance, as nearby schools with better attendance, such as Pittman Charter and Cleveland Elementary, show stronger results in English and Math.

Performance varies dramatically by grade, with some grades performing adequately while others, particularly in middle school, show severe struggles. Compared to other schools, El Dorado's per-student spending is moderate, but it achieves weaker outcomes than some neighbors with similar or even lower budgets. While all schools in the area face challenges, the data suggests that improving attendance could be a vital first step for El Dorado, and looking at practices in higher-performing nearby schools with similar student populations, like Pittman Charter, may provide a path forward.
