Butte Creek Elementary School performs well above the state average in several grade-level English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, particularly in 3rd, 5th, and 7th grades. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6, which may be a factor in its academic success, and it spends a relatively high amount per student at $27,148 for the 2021-2022 school year. The data suggests a potential correlation between higher spending per student and better academic performance, though this relationship is not universal across all schools in the area.
