Summary:
Calaveras Unified includes nine schools—five elementary schools, one middle school, two high schools and one alternative school—serving families in the Calaveras area. In 2025–26, the average school result was 25% proficient in ELA, 17% in math and 18% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. The typical school therefore fell short of the state in every tested subject, by 24 points in ELA, 21 in math and 18 in science—the most important area-wide finding.
West Point Elementary stands out in schoolwide ELA and science, with 36% proficient in each; its science result is near the state’s 36%. Mokelumne Hill Elementary leads schoolwide math at 29%, 9 points below the state, and has the strongest reported sixth-grade results, at 45% in both ELA and math. At the lower end, Toyon Middle has the lowest reported schoolwide ELA result (14%), the alternative school the lowest math result (7%), and San Andreas Elementary the lowest science result (8%). Calaveras High has a 93% graduation rate, above the state’s 88%.
Across schools with results in both years, average proficiency fell by 5 points in ELA, 2 in math and 5 in science from the prior year, while state results rose; the largest individual shifts were in science. SchoolDigger statewide percentiles also declined from 2023–24 to 2025–26 at Mokelumne Hill (55 to 27) and West Point (50 to 31). For 2024–25, the schools’ free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 47% at Jenny Lind Elementary to 70% at San Andreas Elementary; these are context, not explanations for results. West Point combines a 28.5 student-teacher ratio with leading ELA and science results, while Mokelumne Hill has a 21.2 ratio and leads in math. Results cover different grade spans, so schoolwide comparisons are not fully like-for-like.
