Summary:
Zip code 93541 contains one elementary school, Lee Vining Elementary, a K-8 school serving 101 students in a small, rural setting within the Eastern Sierra Unified district.
This school shows clear academic strengths, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, where student proficiency rates are notably higher than both the district and California state averages. For example, over 60% of students are proficient in ELA, compared to about 49% statewide. However, mathematics performance is closer to the state average and there is a significant concern with chronic absenteeism, as nearly one-third of students miss too much school, a rate much higher than the state average of 19.4%.
Parents should note that the school's small size allows for a lower student-teacher ratio, which can support more individualized attention. While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, it consistently outperforms other schools in its own district. The high rate of chronic absenteeism is an important factor for families to consider, as regular attendance is crucial for academic success, and the school may need to address this challenge to help all students reach their potential.
