The city of El Dorado, California is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The data reveals that Pacific Crest Academy, a public charter virtual high school, stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the best high schools in California and boasting exceptional graduation rates, test scores, and low chronic absenteeism. In contrast, Union Mine High, a traditional public high school, lags behind in several key metrics, including higher dropout rates and chronic absenteeism.
The Charter Alternative Program (CAP), an elementary school, also demonstrates strong academic performance, with students outperforming district and state averages in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics.

Notably, Pacific Crest Academy stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio among the high schools in the district, which may contribute to its academic success. Additionally, the school serves a more affluent student population, as indicated by its lower free/reduced lunch rate, which could also be a factor in its strong performance. Overall, the data provides valuable insights into the educational landscape in El Dorado, California, highlighting the standout schools and identifying key metrics that can inform decision-making and resource allocation within the El Dorado County Office of Education.
