Summary:
The CA Montessori Project-Shingle Springs Campus District consists of a single, high-performing K-8 charter school, the California Montessori Project-Shingle Springs Campus, serving 543 students in Shingle Springs.
This school stands out for its strong academic results, consistently scoring above state averages in English, math, and science. A particularly interesting pattern is that student performance peaks in the upper grades, with 7th and 8th graders achieving some of the highest scores, especially in English and science. The school also excels in student engagement, with a chronic absenteeism rate of only 8.7%, which is less than half the state average and likely contributes to its academic success.
While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated slightly in recent years, it maintains a solid position well above average. With a student-teacher ratio of 23.5 to 1 and per-student spending near the state average, the school demonstrates efficient use of resources to achieve strong outcomes. The Montessori model appears particularly effective here, fostering an environment where students are engaged and perform well academically, especially as they progress into middle school.
