Summary:
The Mother Lode Union Elementary district in California consists of three schools serving grades K-8, with a total enrollment of 840 students, all of which are rated in the lower-middle tier compared to other state schools.
Among the three schools, Charles F. Brown Elementary stands out for having the smallest enrollment and the best student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.5%, and it shows particular strength in science and 5th grade English. Indian Creek Elementary, the largest school, has the strongest overall mathematics performance in the district. However, Herbert C. Green Middle shows concerning academic trends, especially in 5th grade math where only about 18.5% of students are proficient.
Overall, while all schools have better attendance than the state average, the district performs below California averages in English, math, and science. The data suggests families should note the significant differences in performance between grade levels and subjects across the schools, with a notable drop in math as students transition to middle school, and consider the trade-offs between the very small, high-resource environment at Charles F. Brown and the larger settings of the other two schools.
