Summary

Calaveras Elementary serves 556 students in kindergarten through eighth grade in Hollister, California, an area with several nearby elementary and K–8 schools. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were 31% in English language arts (ELA), 31% in math and 20% in science. The most important takeaway is that scores have improved, but proficiency remains below the state average in all three subjects.

Math is the school’s relative strength, especially compared with the district: 31% were proficient, 4 percentage points above the Hollister district, but 7 points below the state and 1 point below the nearby K–8 average of 33%. ELA was 6 points below the district, 18 below the state and 9 below the nearby-school average of 41%. Science was 8 points below the district, 16 below the state and 7 below the nearby average of 27%. Grade-level results vary sharply: fourth-grade math reached 43%, slightly above the state’s 42%, while sixth-grade ELA was 17% and seventh-grade math was 13%.

Scores are trending upward overall: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose from 26% to 31%, math from 21% to 31%, and science from 7% to 20%. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 29% to 17%, about 2 points below the latest state and district figures. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 18th percentile and 1 star in 2024–2025 to the 34th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026, though it remains near the bottom of nearby schools with current rankings. In 2024–2025, 76% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the student-teacher ratio was 24.7. SchoolDigger’s Migrant Students ranking was notably higher, at the 87th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 34th percentile; its English Language Learner Students ranking fell from the 63rd percentile in 2021–2022 to the 33rd in 2023–2024.
