Summary:
In ZIP code 96107, two schools in Eastern Sierra Unified serve grades K–12: Antelope Elementary (K–8, 105 students) and Coleville High (grades 9–12, 45 students), with 150 students combined. Their 2024–25 results differ sharply by subject: Coleville led in ELA and science, while Antelope led in math. Across the two schools, the average share proficient was 54% in ELA, 12% in math, and 24% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 37%, and 33%. Math is the clearest shared weakness: both schools were below the state, and their combined average was 26 percentage points lower.
Coleville High stood out in 2024–25 ELA, with 73% proficient versus 35% at Antelope Elementary, a 37-point lead; Coleville also led in science, 36% to 11%, a 25-point difference. Antelope’s math result was 14%, 5 points above Coleville’s 9%, though both were well below the state. Within Antelope, grade-level results varied: 7th-grade ELA was a bright spot at 73%, 22 points above the state, while 6th-grade math was 7%, 30 points below it. The 2024–25 all-grades comparison combines a K–8 school with a high school, and Coleville’s 2025–26 test scores are suppressed.
Antelope Elementary improved in all-grades math from 14% in 2024–25 to 24% in 2025–26, a 9-point rise, but its ELA edged down 2 points to 34% and science rose 1 point to 12%. Its SchoolDigger statewide percentile ranking fell from the 66th percentile in 2022–23 to the 24th in 2024–25; Coleville High declined from the 68th to the 60th percentile. Attendance is another concern: 2025–26 chronic absenteeism was 23% at Antelope and 28% at Coleville, versus 18% statewide. Coleville’s graduation rate was stronger at 92%, above the state’s 88%, and its reported dropout rate was 0% versus 8% statewide. In 2024–25, Coleville had a lower student–teacher ratio (6.9 versus 15.3) and lower free/reduced lunch eligible reporting (40% versus 50% at Antelope); these figures provide context, not an explanation for achievement.
