Bass Lake Joint Union Elementary

The three schools in Bass Lake Joint Union Elementary serve grades K–8 and enroll 790 students: Oakhurst Elementary (K–5), Wasuma Elementary (K–8) and Oak Creek Intermediate (grades 6–8). In 2025–2026, all three schools’ all-grades proficiency results were below state figures, with the group’s smallest average gap in science at 11 points, compared with 15 in ELA and 15 in math. The most striking exception is Wasuma’s eighth grade, where results exceeded the state in ELA, math and science.

Wasuma leads the group in all-grades results: 37% in ELA, 31% in math and 34% in science. It is closest to the state in science, just 2 points behind. Oakhurst has the lowest ELA result at 30% and the lowest science result at 16%, 20 points below the state in science. Oak Creek has the lowest math result at 16%, 22 points below the state. Scores are most clustered in ELA, with a 6-point spread across schools, while the spread is 15 points in math and 18 in science.

Across the three-school average, results fell from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 by 2 points in ELA, 3 in math and 2 in science, while the average gaps to the state widened by 2, 4 and 5 points, respectively. Wasuma was an exception, improving 2 points in ELA and 7 in science; the other two schools declined in all three subjects. SchoolDigger ranks the district 722nd of 968, in the 25th percentile, with one star. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures ranged from 61% at Wasuma to 82% at Oakhurst; student-teacher ratios ranged from 18.2 to 20.6. Grade spans differ, and SchoolDigger’s elementary and middle school rank histories use different comparison groups.
