Summary:
Zip code 95212 has seven schools—five elementary schools, one middle school and one high school—serving grades from K–6 through 9–12 across Stockton Unified and Lodi Unified. In 2025–26, their equal-weight averages were 37% in English language arts (ELA), 26% in math and 23% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The clearest area-wide takeaway is that no school exceeded the state in ELA or science, and only Valentine Peyton Elementary exceeded it in math.
Valentine Peyton led the group in all three subjects, with 47% proficient in ELA, 39% in math and 30% in science. At the other end, Davis Elementary was lowest in ELA and science, at 20% and 14%, while Cesar Chavez High had the lowest math result, 13%. The gap between the highest and lowest school was 27 points in ELA, 26 in math and 16 in science. Grade-level results offer other bright spots: Ansel Adams had 56% ELA proficiency in sixth grade, above the state’s 48%. George Lincoln Mosher had 34% in all-grades math, above the Lodi Unified figure of 30%. Because schools serve different grade spans, shared-grade comparisons can be especially useful.
Recent changes were mixed: the group’s ELA average rose about 1 point from 2024–25 to 2025–26, math dipped slightly, and science increased 4 points; science rose at every school. SchoolDigger ranked Valentine Peyton in the 49th percentile, Ansel Adams in the 41st and Mosher in the 39th, compared with Davis in the 8th. Ratios ranged from 19.3 students per teacher at Morada Middle to 25.9 at Valentine Peyton, without a simple match to scores. The 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible measure averaged 76% across the schools, ranging from 65% at Valentine Peyton to 83% at Morada; these figures are context, not an explanation for results. Cesar Chavez also had a 96% graduation rate in 2025–26, compared with 88% statewide, despite its low math proficiency.
