Summary:
The Butteville Union Elementary district consists of a single K-8 school, Butteville Elementary, serving 162 students in the rural community of Weed.
Butteville Elementary is a standout for its strong academic performance, particularly in the upper grades, where students significantly outperform state averages. Eighth graders excel, with proficiency rates in English and science that are roughly 30 percentage points higher than the California average. The school also maintains better attendance than the state typical, with a chronic absenteeism rate slightly below average.
While the school performs well overall, there is a noticeable dip in achievement in the 5th and 6th grades across core subjects, which is an area for potential focus. The school's state rating has fluctuated between 3 and 4 stars in recent years, though it consistently ranks above average statewide. With nearly half of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school demonstrates it can deliver above-average educational outcomes for its community.
