Summary:

The Loomis Union Elementary district consists of seven high-performing elementary schools (grades K-8) serving around 2,800 students in a district that ranks in the 91st percentile statewide.

Among these schools, Loomis Basin Charter stands out as the top performer with the highest test scores and a remarkable 0% chronic absenteeism rate, while Placer Elementary also excels academically and has the district's lowest free/reduced lunch rate. Penryn Elementary shows strong improvement and leads in math proficiency. In comparison, Loomis Elementary faces greater challenges with the highest free/reduced lunch rate and lowest science scores, and Ophir STEAM Academy has an unusual performance gap with high science but lower math scores despite the highest per-student spending.

Overall, every school in the district significantly outperforms California state averages in English, math, and science. An interesting finding is that higher per-student spending does not always correlate with better academic results here. The district's very low chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state appears linked to its strong performance, and all schools maintain 4 or 5-star ratings, showing consistent quality across the community.
