Summary:
ZIP code 95685 has one listed high school, Amador High, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 615 students. Because it is the only school in the list, there is no local school-to-school comparison; the available benchmarks are the district and state. In 2025–26, English results were above the state level and science was close, but mathematics was substantially below the state—the clearest academic concern.
Amador High is the only listed school, rather than a top or bottom performer among local peers. In 2025–26, 53% of students met the English standard, about 4 percentage points above the state’s 49%; 34% met the science standard, about 2 points below the state’s 36%. Mathematics was 14%, about 25 points below the state’s 38%. Compared with Amador County Unified, the school was about 21 points higher in English and 9 points higher in science, but 7 points lower in mathematics. Other indicators were mixed: graduation was 98%, 10 points above the state, and dropout was 2%, 6 points below; chronic absenteeism was 25%, 7 points higher than the state.
Results fell in all three subjects between 2024–25 and 2025–26: English by about 10 percentage points, mathematics by 3, and science by 2. The school’s position relative to the state also weakened in every subject: English went from 14 points above to 4 points above; mathematics from 21 points below to 25 below; and science from 3 points above to 2 below. SchoolDigger gives the school 2 stars and ranks it 1,108th of 2,137 schools, at the 48th percentile; its percentile was 79 three years earlier. Context figures include a student–teacher ratio of 21 in 2024–25 and 34% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. These figures describe the sole listed school and do not establish why its results changed.
