Summary:
Granite Bay, California, is served by six public schools across three districts, educating approximately 4,150 students from elementary through high school, with all traditional schools consistently performing well above state averages. The educational landscape includes two elementary schools (Ridgeview Elementary and Oakhills Elementary), two middle schools (Willma Cavitt Junior High and Ridgeview), one comprehensive high school (Granite Bay High), and one alternative school (Sierra Vista).
Academically, Willma Cavitt Junior High stands out as the top performer, ranking in the 97th percentile of California middle schools, while Oakhills Elementary leads in math proficiency. Granite Bay High boasts a strong 97.7% graduation rate. A key strength across all traditional schools is remarkably low chronic absenteeism, which is linked to high achievement. The schools are managed by the Eureka Union and Roseville Joint Union High districts, both delivering excellent results.
While performance is high overall, there are variations in resources and demographics; per-student spending is highest at the high school, and free/reduced lunch rates range from 8.5% to 25% among traditional schools. Sierra Vista, operated by the Placer County Office of Education, serves a specialized population with very different metrics, including much higher per-pupil spending. Parents can expect a consistently high-quality educational experience throughout the Granite Bay public school system.
