Summary:

The Hughes-Elizabeth Lakes Union Elementary district consists of a single K-8 school, Hughes-Elizabeth Lakes, serving 195 students in a rural community.

This school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating, showing particular strength in science where student proficiency exceeds the state average, especially in 8th grade. However, performance in English and math is more mixed, with math scores showing a significant drop after 3rd grade that continues through middle school. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, moving from the 66th to the 51st percentile.

Key factors for families to consider include the school's small, rural setting and comprehensive K-8 structure, which can foster a close-knit community. Challenges include a chronic absenteeism rate above the state average and a student-teacher ratio of nearly 22-to-1. The school spends about $11,370 per student, which is below the California average, and serves a population where approximately 42% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
