of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 9% of California elementary schools

Summary

Spanos (Alex G.) Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 482 students in the Stockton Unified district, operating in a high-need community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school faces significant academic challenges common to the area, it has notable strengths compared to several nearby schools, including McKinley Elementary, John C. Fremont Elementary, and Hazelton Elementary. Spanos outperforms these peers in English Language Arts, math, and notably in science, and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the local comparison group at 22.1%, which is a key indicator of student engagement. The school achieves these relatively better outcomes despite spending less per student than most of these neighboring schools.

An interesting point of comparison is the nearby Pittman Charter, which serves a similar student population but achieves higher test scores and has an even lower chronic absenteeism rate, suggesting different models may yield different results. Performance at Spanos has been volatile from year to year, and a significant gap exists between the performance of female and male students. The school shows a pattern where student performance, particularly in 8th-grade English, tends to improve in the upper grades, which may be a benefit of its K-8 structure.
