Summary

Twin Lakes Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 494 students in Orangevale, part of the San Juan Unified School District, known for its consistent performance and exceptionally strong student attendance.

Academically, Twin Lakes reliably outperforms its district averages in all core subjects, ranking in the 69th percentile statewide for the 2024-2025 year. A standout strength is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.9%, which is less than half the district average and the best among most nearby San Juan Unified schools like Ottomon Way Elementary and Golden Valley Orchard. The school has shown dramatic recent improvement in effectiveness with Hispanic students, now ranking in the 83rd percentile for that subgroup. It achieves these solid outcomes while operating with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than several comparable schools, suggesting efficient use of resources.

When compared geographically, schools in the neighboring Folsom-Cordova Unified District, such as Sandra J. Gallardo Elementary, often have significantly more funding and higher test scores, highlighting a district-level disparity. Within its own district, Twin Lakes represents a stable, high-value option, maintaining a steady 3-star rating while some nearby schools show more volatility. Areas for potential growth include mathematics performance in the upper grades, but the school's strong science scores and the clear link between its excellent attendance and consistent achievement are significant positives for families.
