Summary:

This analysis covers five public elementary schools (grades K-6) in the Lodi, CA area (zip code 95242), all part of the Lodi Unified School District, revealing significant performance differences despite their shared district oversight.

Vinewood Elementary stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the 85th percentile statewide with strong test scores and remarkably low chronic absenteeism at 10.2%. Ellerth E. Larson Elementary is a notable, larger school with above-average performance, while Woodbridge faces the greatest academic challenges, ranking in the 33rd percentile. Erma B. Reese Elementary and Lakewood Elementary fall in the middle of the group in terms of academic ranking.

Key insights show a strong link between economic need and academic outcomes; for example, Vinewood has a lower percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch and the highest scores, whereas Woodbridge has the highest need and lowest scores. Interestingly, higher per-student spending does not correlate with better performance in this group. All five schools have lower chronic absenteeism than the district average, and they all outperform their district's overall ranking in mathematics, suggesting these specific schools are strengths within the Lodi Unified district.
