Summary:

Zip code 95642 in California is home to one elementary school, Jackson Elementary, serving grades K-6 within the Amador County Unified district.

Jackson Elementary is a notable school within its district context, outperforming district averages in both English and Math. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 16.2% is significantly better than both the district and state averages, indicating strong attendance practices. The school has shown a slight improvement in its statewide ranking percentile over the last three years, though it maintains a consistent, modest performance level overall.

Key areas for parents to note include a significant dip in 3rd-grade math scores that the school may need to address, while its 4th and 6th graders perform strongest in English. Nearly half of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet the school's academic results surpass the district, which itself ranks in the lower third statewide. With per-student spending near $15,000 and a student-teacher ratio of 22.7 to 1, the school operates with moderate resources while demonstrating effective strategies in certain areas.
