Shoshone Elementary is a tiny K-6 elementary school east of Death Valley National Park and near the California-Nevada state line. Students, most of whom live 45-65 miles from the school campus, come to school via a school bus. All classes are multi-grade-level experiences, with it common for pre-K through grade 3 to be together as a single class and grades 4 through 6 to be together as a class. Classes commonly contain about 8-12 students.Students come from varying economic backgrounds, from underprivileged to professional middle class. Approximately half the students are native Spanish speakers. Valid statistics on student achievement on standardized tests do not exist due to the small number of students and due to privacy issues that exist in very small schools. Shoshone Elementary has a strong reading program, and, as is true with schools of much larger size, Shoshone Elementary students range from Gifted and Talented to Special Needs.Shoshone Elementary is clean, safe and peaceful, a place where young people may socialize (in an area with very few children and where other opportunities for them to be together are virtually nonexistent), make friends, learn and grow into productive and capable teenagers.Teachers are fully qualified professionals, many of whom have 20+ years of CA public school experienience.
