Summary

George W. Bush Elementary serves 754 students in grades K–8 in Stockton, California, and is part of Stockton Unified. Its clearest academic takeaway is that 2025–2026 proficiency was higher than the district’s in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but lower than California’s in all three.

ELA is Bush’s strongest subject compared with nearby K–8 schools: it ranked third of five, and its 39% proficiency rate was about 3 points above their average. Math and science also ranked third of five, but Bush’s rates were about 3 and 1 points below those peers’ averages. Compared with the district, Bush was ahead by 9 points in ELA (39% versus 30%), 8 in math (26% versus 18%), and 6 in science (25% versus 19%); it trailed the state by 10, 13, and 11 points, respectively. Grade-level results vary: grade 6 and 7 ELA were above state rates, while grade 4 math was 16% compared with 42% statewide and was the lowest among nearby schools reporting that grade.

Results have improved modestly since 2022–2023, but not enough to keep pace with state gains: Bush’s rates rose by about 1 point in each subject, while the state gaps widened from 8 to 10 points in ELA, 11 to 13 in math, and 7 to 11 in science. In the latest year, ELA fell 4 points and math fell 1, while science rose 3. Chronic absenteeism has declined 11 points since 2021–2022, to 31% in 2025–2026—slightly below the district but 12 points above the state. SchoolDigger ranked Bush at the 28th percentile with 1 star, fifth among 10 nearby ranked schools; its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 26.7, the highest among nearby schools reporting one. In 2024–2025, 77% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup ranking was notably lower for Asian students (8th percentile versus 28th overall in 2025–2026); for English Language Learner students, it rose from the 3rd percentile in 2018–2019 to the 55th in 2022–2023, then stood at the 43rd in 2023–2024.
