School Overview

Tucked into the Sierra Nevada foothills just a short drive from Yosemite, Coarsegold is a tight-knit rural community where outdoor living and small-town life take center stage. Coarsegold Elementary serves families who've chosen that quieter, mountain-adjacent lifestyle, but academics here are a real consideration — the school's test scores lag well behind state averages, which may give pause to families prioritizing classroom achievement. It could be a decent fit for families deeply rooted in the community or drawn to the area's natural beauty, as long as they're prepared to supplement or advocate actively for their kids' learning.
