About schools in Amador County

Ten public schools across a single district — that's the full scope of Amador County's educational landscape, spanning Gold Country towns from Jackson and Sutter Creek to Ione and Pioneer. Families here aren't navigating a complex web of competing districts; the Amador County Unified School District runs everything, from six elementary campuses through two middle schools to two high schools. Performance sits around the middle of California's statewide range, with Sutter Creek Elementary leading the pack near the 53rd percentile. Pioneer Magnet School for the Visual and Performing Arts offers something genuinely distinctive for families drawn to arts-integrated learning in a rural Sierra Foothills setting.
