Summary:
Zip code 95245 contains one elementary school, Mokelumne Hill Elementary, serving grades K-6 in a rural area as part of the Calaveras Unified district.
Despite serving a student population where over half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, Mokelumne Hill Elementary consistently outperforms its district averages in English, math, and science. Its science scores are particularly strong, exceeding both district and state averages. The school has shown improvement, moving up in its statewide ranking over the past few years. However, it faces a significant challenge with chronic student absenteeism, which is more than double the state average.
Academic performance varies notably between grade levels; for example, sixth graders excel in English while fourth graders face more challenges. Mathematics scores also tend to decline from third to sixth grade. With per-student funding above the state average, the school is a relative bright spot within its lower-performing district, suggesting effective teaching practices are in place. Addressing the high absenteeism could be key to unlocking even greater academic success for its students.
