Educational Success

Providing a quality education for everyone in Stockton is the foundation to a prosperous future for our city. How well our youth can read or write correlates directly with their chances for opportunity and success down the road. Literacy and math are crucial to our understanding and communicating with those around us.

Priorities for Educational Success are to give our students what they need to improve 3rd grade reading and math scores. Reducing the effects of trauma and implicit bias on our students while improving health are also key to Educational Success, which directly relate to school attendance and suspension/expulsion rates.
