Summary:

Zip code 96025 contains one elementary school, Dunsmuir Elementary, a K-8 school serving 65 students in the Dunsmuir Elementary district, which operates with very high per-student funding and a low student-teacher ratio.

This school provides significant resources, spending approximately $34,593 per student—more than double the state average—and maintains a small class size with about 11 students for every teacher. However, academic proficiency rates are below state averages, with math scores being a particular area of concern. The school's ranking has fluctuated but showed improvement in the 2020-2021 school year compared to prior years.

Key challenges include a chronic absenteeism rate significantly higher than the state average, and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The combination of substantial resources, a small student body, and these socioeconomic factors presents a unique profile, where addressing attendance and tailoring instructional support could be important for leveraging the school's advantages to improve student outcomes.
