Summary:
Zip code 95525 in Blue Lake, California, contains just one public school, Blue Lake Union Elementary, a K-8 school serving 153 students within the Blue Lake Union Elementary district.
This school shows notable strengths, particularly in maintaining excellent student attendance with a chronic absenteeism rate of 8.8%, which is less than half the state average, and in achieving above-average mathematics proficiency in the early grades (3rd and 4th). It also benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13-to-1. However, overall academic performance generally falls below state averages, especially in later grades and in science, and the district ranks in the lower 24th percentile statewide.
Recent trends are positive, as the school's statewide ranking improved from the 26th to the 38th percentile this year, regaining a 2-star rating. Parents should note the significant investment in education here, with per-student spending over $21,000, and the school's role as the sole educational option for the community, which allows for focused support but offers no local alternatives for comparison.
