Summary

Foothill Oaks Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 508 students in Sacramento's Twin Rivers Unified district, notable for its strong academic performance in a high-need community where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school consistently outperforms most others in its district, with proficiency rates in English and math that are about 20 points higher than the Twin Rivers Unified average. It shows particular strength in supporting English Learners and students from low-income families, achieving statewide rankings in the 79th to 91st percentiles for these groups. This success stands out compared to nearby schools like Woodridge Elementary, which serves a similar population but ranks significantly lower. Furthermore, Foothill Oaks has managed chronic absenteeism much better than the district average, a key indicator of a positive school climate.

While excelling in many areas, the school faces a notable challenge in science, where proficiency lags behind the state average, a pattern seen across several local schools. Math scores also tend to decline in the upper grades. Despite these areas for growth, Foothill Oaks has shown a remarkable decade-long trajectory of improvement, rising from the 31st to the 66th percentile statewide, proving that high achievement is possible within its district context.
