Summary

Shasta Elementary is a small, K-8 public school serving about 100 students in Shasta, California, operating within the Shasta Union Elementary district, and it has shown impressive improvement, jumping to a 3-star rating this year after being a 2-star school the year before.

The school has some remarkable strengths, most notably its exceptionally low rate of chronic student absenteeism at just 2.8%, which is far better than the state average and even schools like Grant Elementary (9.1%) and Turtle Bay (12.7%). It also invests significantly more per student than many neighbors and shows strong English Language Arts results in its upper grades. However, a key area for growth is mathematics, where proficiency is notably below the state average and schools such as Rocky Point Charter.

While Shasta Elementary's high per-student spending supports a favorable student-teacher ratio, its overall academic outcomes are currently around the state average, creating an interesting contrast with some higher-performing but lower-spending nearby schools. The recent year of strong improvement suggests positive changes are happening, and the school's outstanding attendance record points to a very engaged student community.
