Summary

Pacific Law Academy is a small public school in Stockton, California, serving 199 students in grades 7–12 in a community with several nearby high-school options. Its 2025–2026 results were above the state in English language arts and science, but below the state in math. The most important concern is that results have fallen substantially since 2022–2023, especially in English language arts.

Pacific performs well against both the state and Stockton Unified in English language arts and science: it scored 62% in English language arts, compared with 49% statewide and 30% in the district, and 45% in science, compared with 36% statewide and 19% in the district. Math is the clearest weakness relative to the state: Pacific scored 34%, four points below the state’s 38%, although it was 16 points above the district. Among nearby schools with results, Pacific ranked third of nine in each subject, with averages of 53% in English language arts, 24% in math, and 35% in science. Middle College High and Stockton Early College Academy scored higher in all three.

The downward trend is striking: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, Pacific’s English language arts score fell 34 points, math fell 2 points, and science fell 4 points, while state results rose in all three subjects. SchoolDigger ranks Pacific at the 72nd percentile statewide and gives it four stars (rank 599 of 2,137), down from the 92nd percentile in 2023–2024. Its SchoolDigger Male Students percentile was 58 in 2025–2026—14 points below the school’s overall percentile and down 36 points from the prior year, a notable decline in its ranking for serving this group. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 20.1, and 61% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the latter was 10 points below the nearby-school average.
