Tracy is a truly homey place for students as its education is at foremost.
Tracy Unified School Districts purpose is outstanding:
"[to] Provide educational opportunities which empower children and adults to reach their fullest potential,
and participate as responsible and productive citizens in a continuously changing world."
Tracy is also the home of having students score high on standard tests for state and national averages. The soul
reason for such success is rigorous academic standards, extracurricular activities (enrich the students physically
and mentally), great music programs, theater and fine arts, and to have safe campuses where students can learn,
most importantly, without fear!
Above all, Tracy Unified School District is with it. They know the power of the Internet and even have streaming
video casts on their
site.
What's Tracy's School Placement Philosophy for elementary schools?
"Neighborhood Schools".
This means that students will most likely go to their "neighborhood school", although if a school is
overflowing with students, then they might go outside their neighborhood school. Transportation is not provided
by Tracy Unified, the parent must find transportation for their children. Here are some particular guidelines which
Tracy Unified may use to determine were to place a child whose neighborhood school is full:
- Students living within the home school attendance area who attended the respective
school the previous school year.
- Students assessed as being Limited English Proficient (LEP) and those who qualify for
Special Education or Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) will have second priority for placement at schools which
have these programs.
- Displaced students who have been reassigned two times, to different schools outside
their attendance area, to accommodate district needs.
- Overflow students assigned to another school because of overcrowded conditions the previous
school year by enrollment date.
- Resident students new to the school attendance area.
