North County Joint Union Elementary

The North County Joint Union Elementary district in Hollister, California, consists of a single K-8 school, Spring Grove Elementary, serving 762 students.

Spring Grove Elementary is a standout for its strong academic performance and exceptional student attendance. The school's test scores consistently exceed California state averages, particularly in English and Math, and it has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the past three years. Perhaps most notably, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is remarkably low at 3.9%, far better than the state average of 19.4%, indicating a very positive and engaged school culture.

While performance is strong overall, a closer look reveals areas for potential growth. Science scores are only slightly above the state average, and there is a noticeable dip in mathematics proficiency in 5th and 8th grades, despite exceptional results in 4th grade. The school serves an economically diverse population and achieves these results with a student-teacher ratio of 22-to-1, demonstrating effective use of resources to support its students' success.
