Summary:
Zip code 95245 has one school, Mokelumne Hill Elementary, serving kindergarten through sixth grade and enrolling 149 students. In 2025–26, its all-grades results were 28% in English language arts (ELA), 29% in math, and 9% in science, compared with statewide results of 49%, 38%, and 36%. Chronic absenteeism was also higher: 42% at the school versus 18% statewide. The clearest concern is that results fell below the state in all three subjects, with the largest gap in science.
There is no meaningful school-to-school top or bottom in this area: Mokelumne Hill Elementary is the only school listed. Within the school, sixth grade is a relative bright spot: ELA proficiency was 45%, 3 points below the state, while math was 45%, 8 points above it. Fifth grade is the sharpest concern compared with state results: ELA was 9% versus 49%, math was 18% versus 37%, and science was 9% versus 35%. These grade-level contrasts show that the all-grades figures do not describe every grade equally well. With only one school listed, the data cannot compare local schools with one another.
Results declined from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA went from 40% to 28%, math from 38% to 29%, and science from 37% to 9%, while state results rose in each subject. SchoolDigger’s ranking also fell, from the 51st percentile and 3 stars in 2024–25 to the 27th percentile and 1 star in 2025–26; it was at the 55th percentile with 3 stars in 2023–24. For additional context, the school’s student-teacher ratio was 21.2:1 and 53% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. These are contextual figures, not explanations for the academic results.
