Summary

Rio Calaveras Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 796 students in Stockton, CA, and stands out as a consistently solid performer within the broader Stockton Unified district, which faces significant challenges.

The school's test scores in English, math, and science are significantly higher than the district average and are competitive with state averages, a notable achievement given that a majority of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Rio Calaveras is particularly effective in supporting English Language Learners and has a lower rate of chronic student absenteeism than most schools in the area. Interestingly, it achieves these strong outcomes while spending less per student than some lower-performing neighboring schools like Cleveland Elementary and Adams Elementary.

Along with nearby Valentine Peyton Elementary, Rio Calaveras forms a small cluster of higher-performing schools in the region, outperforming other local options including charter schools like Aspire Arts & Sciences Academy. Parents should note that while the school builds an excellent foundation in early grades, academic performance tends to dip in the middle school years, which is a common pattern but one the school is working to address.
