Summary

Mountain Home Charter (Alternative) is a K–8 school in Oakhurst, California, serving 351 students in Yosemite Unified. Its strongest overall feature is that it scored above every nearby K–8 school with reported results in all three tested subjects in 2025–2026, while also reporting very low chronic absenteeism.

The school’s all-grades results were 51% in English language arts, 48% in math, and 48% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%, respectively. It was also ahead of its district by 12 points in ELA, 25 points in math, and 30 points in science; its results exceeded nearby K–8 peer averages by 16, 21, and 18 points, respectively. Math and science stand out most against the state, while ELA is a relative weakness: sixth-grade ELA was 42%, 6 points below the state. Seventh-grade math was a particular strength at 68%, 31 points above the state. Chronic absenteeism was 2%, compared with 18% statewide and 22% in the district, the lowest reported figure among nearby schools.

SchoolDigger placed the school at the 60th percentile statewide with 3 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 36th percentile and 2 stars in 2017–2018; the district was at the 39th percentile with 2 stars. SchoolDigger’s ranking for White Students was at the 26th percentile, 34 points below the school’s overall percentile, though it rose from the 9th percentile in 2017–2018. The most recently reported student-teacher ratio was 31.9 in 2017–2018, older than nearby schools’ reported ratios of 15.0–23.4 in 2024–2025. The school’s only supplied low-income measure is 45% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2017–2018, so it cannot be directly compared with nearby schools’ 2024–2025 figures. Only one year of test scores is available, so score trends cannot be established.
