Summary:
This analysis examines 10 elementary schools in zip code 95376, which serves the Tracy, CA area, covering grades K-6 across traditional public and one charter school within the Tracy Joint Unified district.
Among these schools, Primary Charter stands out as the top performer, with the highest test scores and lowest chronic absenteeism, while North Elementary faces the most significant challenges, with the lowest academic rankings and test scores. Gladys Poet-Christian Elementary is the highest-achieving traditional public school, and South/West Park Elementary shows notable improvement and strength in math and science.
Key findings for parents include a strong link between lower rates of chronic absenteeism and better school performance, as seen at Primary Charter and Gladys Poet-Christian. Science is an area of relative weakness for most district schools, and higher per-student spending does not automatically correlate with better outcomes. The data shows considerable variation between schools, with performance often aligning with economic factors, making individual school environment and support systems important considerations.
