Summary

San Joaquin Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 711 students in the Stockton Unified School District, operating in a high-need community where it has shown steady academic improvement over the past decade.

When compared to other nearby schools in its district, San Joaquin stands out for having the highest English and math proficiency rates and a significantly lower rate of chronic student absenteeism than schools like McKinley Elementary, Taft Elementary, and Taylor Leadership Academy. The school is particularly effective in supporting English Language Learners, ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide for that group, and it achieves these outcomes while spending less per student than several neighboring schools with poorer results, such as John Marshall Elementary.

While the school is on a positive trajectory, there are areas for growth, including a performance gap between female and male students and lower science proficiency in certain grades. Its performance is also competitive with some schools in the neighboring Manteca Unified district, like George Y. Komure Elementary. Overall, San Joaquin Elementary demonstrates effective management and consistent improvement within its challenging context.
