Summary

Antelope Elementary is a small, rural K-8 school serving 105 students in the Eastern Sierra Unified school district in Coleville, CA.

Recent academic performance at Antelope Elementary has declined significantly, with its statewide ranking dropping to the 24th percentile in the 2024-2025 school year. Test scores, especially in math and science, are now well below state averages, and there are extreme differences in performance between grade levels, such as a 6th grade class performing strongly in English while a 5th grade class shows 0% proficiency in math. This indicates inconsistent educational experiences for students across different grades.

Despite having a favorable student-teacher ratio and receiving very high per-student funding—almost double the typical amount for California—these resources have not translated into better academic results. The school's chronic absenteeism rate, while improved from previous years, remains a concern. As the only school in its immediate area, Antelope Elementary faces unique challenges within its higher-performing district, suggesting a need for targeted support and a close review of how its substantial resources and curriculum are being used to improve student learning.
