Summary

Mokelumne Hill Elementary is a small, rural public school serving 149 students in grades K-6 within the Calaveras Unified School District, located in California's historic Gold Country region.

This school stands out as the top performer in its home district, with students scoring significantly higher in English, Math, and Science than the average for Calaveras Unified. It ranks higher than nearby district schools like Jenny Lind Elementary, West Point Elementary, and San Andreas Elementary. This success comes despite a major challenge: a very high rate of chronic student absences, which suggests the school's teaching methods are effective at helping students keep up even when they miss class. The school also benefits from smaller class sizes compared to most other schools in the district.

When compared to schools in the neighboring Amador County Unified district, such as Sutter Creek Elementary, Mokelumne Hill's scores are more average, indicating broader district factors may influence performance. Academic results can vary by grade level, with some grades excelling and others needing more support. The school has shown steady improvement in recent years and performs comparably to nearby magnet schools, like Pioneer Magnet School for the Visual and Performing Arts, even without a specialized theme.
