Best Public Schools in Mariposa, CA


Summary:

The city of Mariposa, California is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 alternative schools. The district as a whole appears to be underperforming compared to state averages, with mixed academic performance across the schools. However, there are some standout schools that are worth highlighting.

Mariposa County High is the top-performing high school in the district, ranking in the top third of California high schools. It has a strong 97.8% four-year graduation rate and relatively low 2.2% dropout rate, though it does struggle with a high 37.8% chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, the alternative schools in the district have much higher dropout rates of 18-22%, indicating significant challenges in engaging and supporting these high-need student populations.

At the elementary level, Woodland Elementary stands out as the top performer, with the highest test scores in the district and outperforming the county and state averages in many subject areas. Meanwhile, Mariposa Elementary serves a high-need student population, with 76.09% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, yet still manages to perform reasonably well on test scores. Addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting high-need students will be key priorities for the Mariposa County Unified and Mariposa County Office of Education districts going forward.
