Summary:
ZIP code 95202 has six schools: three elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools. Five reported 2025–26 test results, and those results show a sharply divided picture: one school is well above state proficiency, while the other four are below it in every tested subject. The most important takeaway is that families will find very different academic profiles within this ZIP code.
Stockton Early College Academy is the clear standout, with 2025–26 proficiency of 90% in ELA, 59% in math and 64% in science—about 41, 21 and 28 percentage points above the state, respectively. At the other end, Stockton High had 11% ELA, 2% math and 6% science proficiency. The gap between these high schools was 79 points in ELA, 57 in math and 58 in science. Their other outcomes also diverged: Stockton Early College Academy reported a 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, compared with 49% and 25% at Stockton High. Chronic absenteeism was 3% and 92%, respectively, versus 18% statewide.
Across the same five schools with results in both years, average proficiency fell from 40% to 38% in ELA, stayed near 24% in math, and declined from 25% to 24% in science; the state improved in all three, so the school–state gaps widened. Individual trends differed: TEAM Charter improved in all subjects, while Stockton Early College Academy declined, though it remained far ahead. Among grades 3–5, Pittman Charter had the stronger average ELA result (27%); KIPP University Park led in math (27%). For context, all six schools report free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25, ranging from 65% at Stockton Early College Academy to 94% at Team Charter Academy. These figures describe different schools and do not explain their results; Team Charter Academy’s latest test results are from 2024–25.
