Summary

Bethany Elementary is a strong-performing K-8 school serving 768 students in the high-achieving Lammersville Joint Unified School District in Mountain House, where it consistently ranks well above state averages in academics.

The school shines with exceptionally low chronic absenteeism (5.2%) and demonstrates particular strength in supporting English Language Learners and Hispanic students.
