Summary:
Ahwahnee, California, is served by a single public school, Wasuma Elementary, a K-8 school of 270 students within the Bass Lake Joint Union Elementary District.
Wasuma Elementary shows a concerning trend of declining statewide rankings over the past three years, now placing in the 38th percentile. Academic proficiency is below state averages across English, math, and science, though the school performs slightly better in math than its district average. A notable finding is the extreme variation in math scores between grades, with 3rd graders performing well but 5th graders showing a sharp drop in proficiency.
Despite per-student spending being relatively high, outcomes remain below average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is nearly identical to the state average, suggesting attendance is not the primary driver of the achievement gap. For parents, the data indicates the school faces significant challenges, with pockets of strength like 4th-grade English performance that could inform broader improvements.
