Summary:
Zip code 95701 has one listed elementary school, Alta-Dutch Flat Elementary, serving kindergarten through eighth grade, with 99 students. With no other schools in the list, there is no meaningful school-to-school comparison; the results can instead be compared with California’s. In 2025–2026, the school’s strongest subject relative to the state was science, while mathematics was its clearest weakness: science proficiency was 57% versus 36% statewide, but math was 17% versus 38%. That 21-point math shortfall alongside science’s 21-point advantage is the area’s most important finding.
Alta-Dutch Flat Elementary stands out for science and, more slightly, ELA, but falls well below the state in math. ELA proficiency was 51% compared with 49% statewide, a 2-point advantage. Results also differ across reported grades: fifth-grade ELA was 67% versus 49% statewide, while seventh-grade ELA was 29% versus 51%. Math was below the state in every reported grade, including seventh grade at 7% versus 38%. Chronic absenteeism was another less favorable result, at 21% compared with 18% statewide.
Recent changes show a mixed academic picture: science rose from 25% in 2024–2025 to 57% in 2025–2026, and ELA rose from 41% to 51%, while math fell from 36% to 17%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from the 37th percentile with 2 stars in 2024–2025 to the 47th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, but remained below its 51st-percentile, 3-star result in 2023–2024. Context figures for 2024–2025 include 17.5 students per teacher and 25% free/reduced lunch eligible. Because the school enrolls 99 students, results may be sensitive to small numbers of students.
