John Muir Elementary

Summary:

John Muir Elementary is a public elementary school in Stockton, California, serving 564 students in grades K-6 and part of the Lodi Unified School District. This school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic assessments, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. However, the school faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism and equity concerns, with significant performance gaps between different student subgroups.

John Muir Elementary outperforms most nearby schools in the Lodi Unified School District, as well as schools in the Lincoln Unified School District, suggesting it is a relatively strong-performing school within its local context. The school's Hispanic and White student populations perform particularly well, ranking in the top 25% and top 20% of California elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's Asian and African American student populations lag behind, ranking in the bottom 30% and bottom 25% of California elementary schools, respectively.

While John Muir Elementary maintains strong academic performance overall, there is a concerning trend of declining proficiency rates in recent years, particularly in Mathematics. This decline warrants further investigation to identify the underlying causes and implement targeted interventions to reverse the trend and maintain the school's high level of academic achievement. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.4% to 66.78% in recent years, suggests a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may present additional challenges and require targeted support.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
