Summary

Soulsbyville Elementary is a public K-8 school in Soulsbyville, CA, serving 471 students. The school is part of the Soulsbyville Elementary School District, which is ranked 384 out of 1,565 districts in California and has a 4-star rating.

Soulsbyville Elementary generally performs above the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 31.91% in 3rd grade to 64.91% in 6th grade, compared to the state average of 44.21% to 48.81%. In Mathematics, Soulsbyville's proficiency rates ranged from 34.43% in 5th grade to 50.88% in 6th grade, compared to the state average of 36.03% to 46.3%. The school's performance in Science, as measured by the CAST assessment, is also above the state average, with 49.18% proficiency in 5th grade and 36.59% in 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 33.39% and 31.95%, respectively.

Soulsbyville Elementary outperforms many nearby schools, such as Tenaya Elementary, Jamestown Elementary, and Summerville Elementary, in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. This may be due to the school's relatively high per-student spending of $39,455 in the 2023-2024 school year and its lower student-teacher ratio of 19:1 compared to nearby schools. However, Soulsbyville Elementary has faced challenges with chronic absenteeism, which has ranged from 15.9% to 24.9% over the past few years, higher than the state average.
