Stanford Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 16.5% to 31.3%, well above the state and district averages.

Additionally, 100% of Stanford Elementary's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Despite increased per-student spending, from $10,634 in 2018-2019 to $14,508 in 2021-2022, the school has struggled to translate this into improved outcomes for students.

However, it outperforms the lower-performing Earl Ira J Elementary and Lynch Ann Elementary. Interestingly, the public charter school Mater Bonanza, located less than a mile from Stanford Elementary, significantly outperforms the school across all academic measures, despite serving a similar high-poverty student population.
