About schools in San Joaquin County

Fifteen districts and 214 ranked public schools make San Joaquin County one of the more varied education landscapes in California's Central Valley, ranging from urban Stockton — the county's largest city — to the newer planned community of Mountain House, where Julius Cordes Elementary and Hansen Elementary both score at the 99th percentile statewide. Elkhorn in Stockton reaches the 100th percentile, a reminder that strong performers exist across the county's geography. Still, only 23 of 214 schools place in the top quartile statewide, so results vary considerably across the 15 districts. Families should look closely at individual schools rather than treating the county as uniform.
