Summary:
The Rescue Union Elementary district consists of seven schools—five elementary (K-5) and two middle (6-8)—serving over 3,500 students in the El Dorado Hills and Rescue area, and it ranks in the 91st percentile statewide.
Among these schools, Marina Village Middle stands out as the district's top performer with the highest test scores and the lowest chronic absenteeism, followed closely by Lakeview Elementary and Jackson Elementary. In contrast, Green Valley Elementary and Pleasant Grove Middle face challenges, including higher rates of chronic absenteeism and notably lower math proficiency, with Pleasant Grove's math scores being 26 percentage points behind Marina Village's.
Key takeaways show that higher per-student spending does not automatically mean better results, as seen at Pleasant Grove, and that chronic absenteeism is strongly correlated with lower academic performance across the district. The performance gap between the two middle schools is significant, suggesting an area for district focus, while overall, the district's students perform well above state averages in English, math, and science.
