Fort Jones Elementary

Public Grades K-2

Summary

Fort Jones Elementary is a public elementary school serving 144 students in grades K-5 in the Scott Valley Unified School District in California. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of White students (52.08%) and significant percentages of Native American (10.42%) and multi-racial (25.69%) students.

Fort Jones Elementary outperforms the district and state averages in several key areas, such as English Language Arts/Literacy proficiency (49.3% vs. 48.57% for the district and 46.66% for the state) and 5th-grade Science proficiency (50% vs. 43.4% for the district and 31.86% for the state). However, the school underperforms in 3rd-grade Math, with only 40% of students proficient or better, compared to 53.49% for the district and 45.11% for the state. Additionally, Fort Jones Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.5% in 2018-2019 to 31.3% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Montague Elementary, Gazelle Elementary, and Grenada Elementary, Fort Jones Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of test scores and school rankings. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate and lower socioeconomic status of its student population, with 47.22% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, are areas of concern that warrant further attention and intervention.
