Frequently asked questions

What is the best charter school in Stockton?

John McCandless Charter in Stockton, California ranks first among charter schools in Stockton with a Success Index (US) of 67.3 out of 100 (Enrollment: 434).

How are charter schools in Stockton ranked?

Each factor is a percentile against schools of the same type across United States. Schools with fewer than 60 students are excluded from rankings.

Are these 2025 rankings official?

No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official American data (Urban Institute Education Data Portal (NCES CCD, EDFacts); NCES Common Core of Data).
