Summary:
ZIP code 95327 has two elementary schools: Jamestown Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 8, and Chinese Camp Elementary, serving grades 3–6; both are in the Jamestown Elementary district. In 2025–2026, both schools’ reported English language arts (ELA) results were below the state rate, while math results differed sharply. The clearest area-wide takeaway is that neither school leads across every subject: Chinese Camp’s math stands out, but both schools are below the state in ELA.
Chinese Camp had the higher reported all-grades rates: 38% in ELA and 45% in math, compared with 32% and 17% at Jamestown. The school-to-school gaps were 6 points in ELA and 28 in math. Chinese Camp’s math rate was 6 points above the state’s 38%, while Jamestown was 22 points below; both schools were below the state’s 49% in ELA, by 11 points at Chinese Camp and 17 at Jamestown. Jamestown’s reported science rate was 22%, 14 points below the state; Chinese Camp’s science result is suppressed, so it cannot be compared.
Recent results moved in different directions, with declines in both schools’ reported core subjects. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Jamestown’s math rate fell 11 points, from 27% to 17%; Chinese Camp’s fell 16 points, from 61% to 45%, while its ELA fell 9 points, from 46% to 38%. SchoolDigger lists Jamestown at the 10th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026, down from the 26th percentile the prior two years; the district is also listed at the 10th percentile and 1 star. In 2024–2025, Jamestown had 409 students and a 20.4 student–teacher ratio, versus Chinese Camp’s 30 students and 15.0 ratio. Free/reduced lunch eligible figures that year were 72% at Jamestown and 60% at Chinese Camp. These are observations, not explanations for test results. The schools serve different grade spans, and many Chinese Camp grade-level scores are suppressed, so all-grades rates are not grade-matched comparisons.
