Elmwood Elementary

Public Grades K-8

5538^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 5% of California elementary schools

Summary

Elmwood Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 656 students in the Stockton Unified district, operating in a high-need community where nearly 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Elmwood's academic performance is below state averages, it is important to understand its position relative to other local schools. Within the challenging context of Stockton Unified, Elmwood is actually a middle performer, achieving better results than nearby schools like Alexander Hamilton Elementary and John C. Fremont Elementary, which have similar student populations. Elmwood has shown particular historical strength in teaching English Language Learners and operates with fewer resources per student and a higher student-teacher ratio than many comparison schools, including Montezuma Elementary and the charter school Aspire Rosa Parks Academy.

The school's performance varies significantly by grade, with 7th grade English and 3rd grade math being relative bright spots, while 5th grade struggles across subjects. Chronic absenteeism is a major, district-wide challenge, though Elmwood's rate is better than schools like Fillmore Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary. Looking at higher-performing schools with similar demographics, such as King Elementary within the district and Glenwood Elementary in the neighboring Linden Unified district, suggests that improved outcomes are possible with different supports and resource levels.
