Summary:
Zip code 93276 in Tupman, California, is served by a single elementary school, Elk Hills Elementary, a unique K-8 school that functions as its own Elk Hills Elementary district.
For parents, the most important information is that this small school shows clear strengths in specific areas despite academic performance that generally trails state averages. A major positive is its excellent student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate significantly better than the California average, suggesting a strong, supportive school environment. Academically, the school's 6th graders excel, outperforming state averages in both English and Math, and science proficiency is a relative strength for the school overall.
It is important to view these results in context: the school serves a high-need population and invests heavily per student. While early grade scores, particularly in 3rd grade English, are an area of concern, the school's state ranking has shown slight improvement in recent years. The key takeaway is that Elk Hills Elementary provides stable, continuous education from kindergarten through 8th grade with notable successes in attendance, middle-grade academics, and science, all within a high-investment, single-school district model.
