Summary

Charles F. Brown Elementary serves 85 students in grades 2–6 in El Dorado, California. Its 2025–2026 results are mixed: math was slightly above the state average, ELA was below the state average, and science was below both the state and district. Fifth grade stands out, but results vary by grade. The clearest academic area for attention is science, where 29% of students were proficient—7 percentage points below the state and 3 below the district.

Fifth grade is a notable strength compared with nearby schools as well as local and state results. Fifth-grade ELA proficiency was 69%, 20 points above the state and 21 above the district; only Rescue Elementary scored higher among nearby schools with results. Fifth-grade math was 53%, 16 points above the state and 20 above the district, again second to Rescue. By contrast, third-grade ELA was 31%, below the state by 13 points and the district by 5; it was lower than all eight nearby schools with same-grade results. Fourth-grade math was 30%, 12 points below the state, though 4 above the district. Overall, math was 40% proficient, 2 points above the state and 15 above the Mother Lode Union Elementary district; ELA was 46%, 4 points below the state but 8 above the district.

Results have improved since 2023–2024, though science has recently slipped: ELA rose 10 points to 46%, math rose 11 points to 40%, and science rose 16 points over the full period but fell 9 points from 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 36 to 54 over two years, and its rating increased from 2 to 3 stars; its current rank is 2,642 of 5,804. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for female students was notably higher than the school’s overall standing at the 74th percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 49th percentile the year before. Its 2024–2025 ranking for White students was lower, at the 25th percentile versus 48th overall.
