Summary:
Mokelumne Hill, California is home to a single public elementary school, Mokelumne Hill Elementary, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 158 students. While the school's academic performance on state assessments is generally below the Calaveras Unified School District and California state averages, it faces unique challenges that may contribute to these outcomes.
Mokelumne Hill Elementary has seen a decline in its proficiency rates on Smarter Balanced Assessments in both English Language Arts and Mathematics over the past three school years. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 23.81% to 47.62% in ELA and 28.57% to 58.82% in Mathematics, compared to the district's 21.5% to 28.82% in ELA and 12.09% to 27.4% in Mathematics. Additionally, the school's performance on the California Science Test (CAST) is below the district and state averages, with 37.5% proficiency in 5th grade science.
One significant concern for Mokelumne Hill Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 56.8% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 56.96% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggesting that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. While these factors may contribute to the school's academic performance, it is important to note that Mokelumne Hill Elementary is the only school in the Mokelumne Hill area, and the district and state averages may not fully capture the unique challenges faced by this school.
