Stockton Unified School District began the process of converting elementary and middle schools to K-8 schools in fall 2006. Starting with the 2009-2010 school year, all high schools started with Small Learning Communities (SLC). Smaller Learning Communities (or SLC’s as they are commonly known) with Career Pathways are part of the district's efforts to reform high schools and increase the engagement of all students by making academics more relevant and by injecting the real-life, career-related context into what students learn. In addition to the career pathways, SLC's reduce the size of the high school experience for kids, fostering deeper, longer-term relationships between students and teachers and preventing so many high school students from being lost. In large part,
Measure C was used to build two new elementary schools - Spanos and Peyton - and to make the alterations that were needed at four middle-school campuses when Stockton Unified eliminated the junior high school concept in favor of K-8s. Most of the rest of the Measure C money was used to upgrade several K-8 campuses. Stockton Unified returned to K-8 and four year high schools August 8, 2007

Taft Montessori Magnet School - 419 Downing Ave. Montessori education is fundamentally a model of human development, and an educational approach based on that model. The model has two basic principles. First, children and developing adults engage in psychological self-construction by means of interaction with their environments. Second, children, especially under the age of six, have an innate path of psychological development. Based on her observations, Montessori believed that children at liberty to choose and act freely within an environment prepared according to her model would act spontaneously for optimal development.
