Summary
Stockton Elementary serves 199 students in prekindergarten through grade 8 in Stockton, Kansas. In 2025–2026, its all-grades results were above state and district results in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most important caveat is that the strong schoolwide math result hides a sharp grade-level split: grades 3–5 were 12 to 18 points below state results, while grades 7–8 were 29 to 43 points above.
Compared with nearby schools, Stockton had higher all-grades ELA results than Damar Elementary School and Plainville Elementary: 48%, versus 36% and 35%. It also led them in math, with 45% versus 14% at Damar and 39% at Plainville. Science is a less favorable local comparison: Stockton’s 50% was below Plainville’s 54%. Against the state and the Stockton district, science is Stockton’s strongest subject, at 12 points and 10 points above, respectively; ELA was 2 and 3 points higher, and math 4 and 3 points higher. Comparisons with nearby schools span different grade ranges: Stockton serves through grade 8, Plainville through grade 6, and Damar through grade 5.
