Summary

Mokelumne Hill Elementary serves 149 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in Mokelumne Hill, California, and is part of Calaveras Unified. Its latest results show an uneven picture: scores are above the district in English language arts (ELA) and math, but below state averages in all three tested subjects. Attendance is an even more urgent concern: 42% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, the highest rate among nearby schools.

Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with local peers, while science is its weakest. In 2025–2026, 29% of students were proficient in math, 7 percentage points above the nearby-school average and 14 points above the district, though still 9 points below the state. ELA proficiency was 28%—3 points below nearby schools and 7 above the district, but 21 below the state. Science proficiency was just 9%, 15 points below the nearby average and 9 below the district. Grade-level results vary sharply: sixth graders scored 45% in both ELA and math, the highest among nearby schools with reported results, while fifth-grade ELA was 9%, the lowest among nearby schools reporting that subject.

Results fell sharply in the latest year: ELA declined by 12 percentage points, math by 8, and science by 28. Mokelumne Hill Elementary also dropped from the 51st to the 27th percentile in SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings, and its current rating is 1 star; Calaveras Unified is at the 9th percentile with 0 stars. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 57% in 2022–2023 to 42%, but remains high. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 21.2, the second-lowest among nearby schools; 53% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average of 52%. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves White Students was at the 9th percentile in 2025–2026, 18 points below its overall percentile. Its Male Students ranking fell from the 76th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 27th percentile in 2025–2026.
