Summary:
Loomis, California, is served by six public schools—five highly-ranked elementary schools (K-8) in the Loomis Union Elementary District and one high school (9-12), Del Oro High, which is part of the Placer Union High District.
Overall, schools in Loomis are exceptional, with all of them significantly outperforming California state averages in English, math, and science. The elementary schools show some variation, with Loomis Basin Charter and Placer Elementary often leading in academic rankings and proficiency scores. Loomis Basin Charter stands out for having perfect attendance and high scores with lower per-student spending, while Placer Elementary consistently excels in math and science. Loomis Elementary, while still strong, faces greater challenges and spends more per student to support its population.
At the high school level, Del Oro High is a standout for student support, boasting a near-perfect graduation rate and a very low dropout rate, though its state ranking has recently dipped. A key takeaway for parents is the remarkably low chronic absenteeism across all schools, indicating a highly engaged student community. The main areas to watch are some variability in test scores between grade levels at the elementary schools and ensuring science achievement continues to grow alongside the already-strong performance in English and math.
