Summary:
This analysis covers eight schools in zip code 95249 (San Andreas, CA), serving roughly 1,674 students from elementary through high school, with a notable concentration of five high schools and two alternative programs within the Calaveras Unified and Calaveras County Office of Education districts.
When comparing schools, Mountain Oaks stands out as a top performer with a 95.6% graduation rate, extremely low chronic absenteeism (1.7%), and strong science scores, while Calaveras Unified Alternative-Sierra Hills Education Center reports a perfect 100% graduation rate. In contrast, San Andreas Elementary ranks in the bottom 15% of state elementary schools, and chronic absenteeism is a significant challenge district-wide, reaching over 90% at Calaveras River Academy.
The area shows a pattern where alternative schools achieve strong graduation and attendance outcomes despite varied per-student spending. Most schools underperform state averages in English and Math, though Calaveras High shows improvement. The high number of specialized high schools suggests a strategy of offering targeted programs for different student needs within the community.
