Summary

Pulliam Elementary serves 599 students in grades K–8 in Stockton, within the Stockton Unified district. Its 2025–2026 results are below state and district averages in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. Science is the clearest concern: just 9% of students were proficient, compared with 36% statewide and 19% districtwide. The most important weakness is eighth-grade science, where only 6% were proficient—below the results at all four nearby K–8 schools with current results.

Compared with nearby K–8 schools, ELA is Pulliam’s strongest subject and science its weakest. ELA proficiency was 24%, close to the nearby-school average of 25%, though still 6 points below the district and 26 below the state. Math was 17%, about 2 points above the nearby average. In science, Pulliam’s 9% was below Kingston (22%), Adams (14%), Kennedy (13%) and Colonial Heights (26%). Fifth-grade ELA stands out positively: Pulliam’s 29% was above the district’s 27% and higher than results at nearby Kennedy, Adams and Kingston, though below the state’s 49%.

ELA and math have improved since 2022–2023, rising by 3 and 6 points, while science gained only 1 point and its gap to the state widened by 5 points. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ranking places Pulliam at the 10th percentile statewide, with one star; that is up from the 3rd percentile in 2022–2023 but remains low. A notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger ranked the school’s effectiveness in serving English Language Learner Students at the 41st percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s 5th-percentile overall ranking that year. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 23.4, close to the nearby average of 23.2, and 84% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism was 30% in 2025–2026—below the district’s 31% but above the state’s 18%.
