Summary:
The Nevada City Elementary district in California is home to two strong-performing schools: Seven Hills Intermediate (a middle school) and Deer Creek Elementary. Both schools demonstrate impressive academic performance, with test scores that significantly exceed the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
While the student populations at both schools are predominantly white, there is some racial diversity, with Hispanic and multi-racial students making up the next largest groups. However, both schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, with over 30% of students chronically absent. Deer Creek Elementary also serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 35.79% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 33.58% at Seven Hills Intermediate.
The data also reveals some fluctuations in the schools' statewide rankings, with Seven Hills Intermediate's ranking ranging from 249th out of 894 California middle schools in 2020-2021 to 725th out of 2,788 in 2022-2023. In contrast, Deer Creek Elementary has maintained a consistent ranking in the top 20% of California elementary schools over the past few years. Overall, the Nevada City Elementary district appears to be providing a high-quality education to its students, with areas for potential improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting economically disadvantaged students.
