Summary

Pine Grove Elementary STEM Magnet enrolls 259 students in kindergarten through grade 6 in Jackson, within Amador County Unified. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results were below California’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science, with ELA the clearest concern: 29% of students were proficient, compared with 49% statewide.

Compared with nearby same-district schools, science is Pine Grove’s relative bright spot and ELA its weakest subject. Pine Grove’s science proficiency was 29%, above the nearby-school average of 28% and the district’s 25%, though below the state’s 36%. ELA was 29%, below the nearby average of 38% and the district’s 32%; math was 20%, also below the nearby average of 26% and the district’s 21%. Grade-level results vary, too: grade 3 ELA was 18%, while grade 5 ELA was 38%; grade 5 math was particularly low at 13%, compared with 26% in grade 6.

Results have weakened relative to the state since 2022–2023: ELA fell from 40% to 29% and math from 23% to 20%, while science stayed around 29%. Over that period, the gaps with the state widened by 14 points in ELA, 7 in math and 6 in science. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 43rd percentile to the 21st percentile, with a 1-star rating in 2025–2026. One notable exception is the statewide ranking for how well the school serves Special Education Students: the 66th percentile and 3 stars, compared with the school’s overall 21st percentile. Pine Grove’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 24.5, close to the same-district average of 24.1. In 2024–2025, 44% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, below the peer average of 50%; California is marked as a statewide free-meals state, and this is Pine Grove’s eligibility measure, not the share receiving meals.
