Summary

California Montessori Project-Shingle Springs Campus is a well-regarded K-8 public school serving 543 students in Shingle Springs, consistently earning a 4-star rating and performing in the top third of all California schools.

The school stands out for its strong academic results in the upper grades, with 8th graders excelling in science and English, and for its remarkably low rate of chronic student absenteeism, which is less than half the state average. Interestingly, it achieves these outcomes while spending significantly less per student than many neighboring schools like Sierra Elementary or Charles F. Brown Elementary, demonstrating efficient use of resources. However, a notable dip in test scores in 5th and 6th grades, followed by a strong recovery in 7th and 8th, is a unique pattern that differs from the more consistent performance seen at other local schools.

When compared to its closest neighbor, Buckeye Elementary, California Montessori has higher English proficiency scores but serves a smaller percentage of students from low-income families. The school's statewide ranking has seen a slight decline in recent years, and performance varies among different student groups, with a significant gap between female and male student achievement. Overall, the Montessori model at this CA Montessori Project-Shingle Springs Campus District school appears particularly effective for older students, producing strong middle school outcomes that rival or exceed those of nearby K-8 options like Charter Home Study Academy.
