Summary

Jenny Lind Elementary is a public K-7 school serving 475 students in Valley Springs, California, operating within the larger Calaveras Unified district, which faces significant academic challenges across the region.

Academically, the school's test scores in English, math, and science are below state averages, though they are generally on par with or slightly better than other schools in its own district like San Andreas Elementary and Valley Springs Elementary. A notable exception within the district is Mokelumne Hill Elementary, which performs significantly better. Jenny Lind has made impressive progress in reducing chronic student absences, now performing better in this area than most district peers, though this improvement has not yet translated into higher test scores.

The school operates with a high student-to-teacher ratio and the lowest per-student spending in its district, yet it achieves comparable results to schools with more resources. When compared to higher-performing schools in neighboring districts, such as Linden Elementary or Farmington Elementary, the performance gap highlights broader district-wide challenges. Key areas for attention include improving mathematics instruction in the upper grades and building on recent attendance gains to boost academic outcomes.
