Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “55% proficient” and call it done. California Montessori Project-Shingle Springs Camp deserves a closer read. It sits at the 65th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.
The headline number: 9.4% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.
As a charter, California Montessori Project-Shingle Springs Camp enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
