Summary:
Johnstonville Elementary is the only school serving grades K-8 in the Johnstonville Elementary district in Susanville, California, with an enrollment of 211 students for the 2024-2025 year.
Johnstonville Elementary shows a mixed academic profile with notable strengths and areas for growth. The school excels in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 12% that is significantly better than the state average, and its 8th graders perform well above state averages in both English Language Arts and Science. However, overall proficiency in math and science lags behind state averages, with particular weaknesses in 3rd grade math and 5th grade science. A concerning trend is the school's ranking, which has fallen from the 59th to the 42nd percentile statewide over the past two years.
For parents, the school demonstrates a strong commitment to student attendance and succeeds in preparing its 8th-grade students in core subjects. The variability in performance across different grades suggests that educational experiences may differ depending on the grade level. School leadership may be focusing resources on understanding the recent ranking decline and addressing the specific grade levels and subjects where student proficiency is furthest behind state benchmarks.
