Summary:

The Placer Hills Union Elementary district in the Weimar and Meadow Vista area of Placer County consists of two schools serving a total of 755 students from kindergarten through 8th grade.

Overall, the district performs above state averages, with Sierra Hills Elementary (grades K-3) standing out for its exceptional math scores and lower chronic absenteeism. In comparison, Weimar Hills (grades 4-8) shows more varied performance, with strong results in 4th and 8th grades but a noticeable dip in the middle school years, alongside a higher rate of chronic absenteeism.

Key takeaways for parents include the district's strength in elementary education and the challenge of the transition to middle school grades. While both schools spend similar amounts per student, the data suggests that attendance and support during the middle school years are important areas of focus. The district maintains a consistent above-average state ranking, indicating a solid educational foundation for students in the community.
