Summary

West Point Elementary is a small, rural K-6 school of 114 students in the Calaveras Unified district, consistently outperforming other schools in its district despite facing significant challenges like high student-teacher ratios and chronic absenteeism.

Academically, the school is a standout within its low-performing district, scoring higher in English and Math than the district average and nearby San Andreas Elementary. However, its performance varies greatly by grade, with some grades excelling while others struggle. The school has made impressive progress reducing chronic absenteeism, now having a lower rate than Mokelumne Hill Elementary, and shows notable improvement in serving its high percentage of low-income students. Compared to schools in neighboring, higher-performing districts like Hazel Fischer Elementary in Vallecito Union, West Point's scores are lower, highlighting the impact of the broader district context.

West Point operates very efficiently, achieving its results with less spending per student than schools like Pioneer Elementary and the highest student-teacher ratio among its immediate peers. Key areas for the school to address include creating more consistent learning experiences across all grade levels and continuing its successful push to improve student attendance.
