Summary:
Mariposa County Unified includes 10 schools: six elementary schools, three high schools and one alternative school, serving students from elementary through high school. In 2025–2026, the unweighted averages across schools with reported results were 28% in ELA, 22% in math and 21% in science, all below state results of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. The most important finding is that these averages conceal very large differences from school to school.
Yosemite National Park Valley Elementary stands out at the top: its ELA result was 76% and its math result was 59%, respectively 27 and 20 percentage points above the state, and no other school exceeded the state in either subject. At the other end, Spring Hill High (Continuation) had 0% in ELA and science; Greeley Hill Elementary had the lowest math result, 5%. Mariposa County High led reported science results at 32%, still 4 points below the state. Grade-level results can tell a different story: Lake Don Pedro Elementary exceeded state results in eighth-grade ELA, math and science by 11, 14 and 10 points.
Across schools with results in both years, the average moved further below the state from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: the gap widened by 2 points in ELA, 2 in math and 5 in science. Individual results varied: Valley Elementary gained 33 points in ELA, while Mariposa Elementary fell 13 points in math. SchoolDigger’s reported percentile for Woodland Elementary moved from 32 to 9 over the same endpoints, while Spring Hill’s moved from 1 to 7. Context also differs: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students ranged from 16% at Valley to 97% at Spring Hill among nine reporting schools. Greeley Hill had 80% eligible and a student-teacher ratio of 8.3, yet its scores were low; these figures describe contrasts, not causes. Results for some schools or subjects are unavailable, so comparisons do not cover every school.
