Summary

Parker Whitney Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 422 students in the high-achieving Rocklin Unified school district in Rocklin, CA.

While Parker Whitney performs solidly above the state average, it consistently ranks in the middle tier within its own district, with academic proficiency rates in English, math, and science trailing the Rocklin Unified average. Notably, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 9.1% is more than double that of several nearby schools like Valley View Elementary (4.2%) and Cobblestone Elementary (4.1%), which also achieve significantly higher test scores.

An interesting point for parents is that Parker Whitney has the highest per-student spending among nearby district schools, yet its academic outcomes are lower than peers with less funding, such as Rocklin Academy. The school has also seen a recent decline in its statewide ranking and shows a particular weakness in science proficiency compared to other subjects, suggesting areas where the school is focusing on improvement.
