Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
The path starts narrow: Lee Vining Elementary at 45, then a 22-point drop to the next of 2 elementary schools.
2 elementary schools span 22 points around an average of 33.5.
Lee Vining Elementary is the strongest option at 45/100 — 26.9% of its students exceed the state standard.
21.4% of students are chronically absent (state: 17.9%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
The high school years
One high school: Coleville High at 56/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Coleville High is the strongest option at 56/100 — 13.6% of its students exceed the state standard.
30.6% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Lee Vining Elementary at 45/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
No charters or magnets among the ranked schools here, so the main lever is an intra-district transfer — California districts run them on their own windows and criteria. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, ask the district office for this year's dates.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
