Summary

San Andreas Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 334 students in the Calaveras Unified School District, which ranks in the bottom 18th percentile statewide, and the school itself has consistently received a low 1-star rating with academic proficiency well below state averages.

The school faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 36.2%—nearly double the state average—and a sharp increase in the student-teacher ratio to 25.5, the highest among its district peers. Despite spending $17,312 per student, which is high for the area, academic outcomes remain poor, though there is a notable strength in science where it outperforms the district average. Interestingly, other schools with similar levels of economic need, like West Point Elementary and Copperopolis Elementary, achieve significantly higher statewide rankings, showing that improvement is possible with similar demographics.

When looking at nearby districts, schools like Albert A. Michelson Elementary in Vallecito Union and Sutter Creek Elementary in Amador County Unified dramatically outperform San Andreas Elementary, with higher ratings, better attendance, and often lower per-student spending. Within its own district, Mokelumne Hill Elementary is a notable exception with a 3-star rating, indicating that factors beyond just funding or attendance can lead to better outcomes.
