Summary:
Zip code 96107 in the rural Coleville, CA area is served by one elementary school, Antelope Elementary, a K-8 school with 105 students in the Eastern Sierra Unified district.
This small, remote school provides a close-knit environment with a moderate student-teacher ratio, but its academic performance shows significant variation. While its sixth graders perform well in English Language Arts, proficiency in mathematics and science is notably below state averages, with a particularly concerning result of 0% proficiency in fifth-grade math. The school's statewide ranking has also seen a sharp decline over the past three years, dropping from the 66th percentile to the 24th percentile.
Despite having a high per-student spending of nearly $30,000, outcomes are mixed, indicating resources may not be fully translating to academic achievement. Parents should note that nearly half the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism is slightly above the state average. The school's K-8 configuration offers continuity but may also present challenges in meeting the wide range of student needs. Further investigation into math instruction and the reasons behind the ranking drop would be important for understanding its trajectory.
