Summary

Foothill Oaks Elementary is a K–6 school in Sacramento, in the Twin Rivers Unified district, with 508 students. Its 2025–26 results show a clear difference by subject: about 49% proficient in English language arts (ELA), 44% in math and 19% in science. The most important concern is science, where results are far below the state average.

ELA and math compare favorably with the state, the district and nearby K–6 peers, while science does not. ELA was 49.4% at Foothill Oaks versus 49.3% statewide, and 13 points above the district; math was 44%, 6 points above the state and 17 above the district. Science was 19%, 17 points below the state and 2 below the district. Among four nearby K–6 schools, Foothill Oaks was highest in ELA and math: it scored 17 points above their average in ELA and 18 above in math, but 7 below their science average. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 37% in 2025–26, compared with 18% statewide and 44% in the district, up 19 points from the prior year.

Results have shifted over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 3 points overall, math fell 1 point and science fell 7 points. SchoolDigger ranks Foothill Oaks at the 59th statewide percentile with 3 stars, down 7 percentile points from the prior two years; among nearby schools with rankings, it is third of 10. The district ranks at the 29th percentile with 1 star. In 2024–25, 83% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student–teacher ratio was 24.1, around the middle of the nearby range. SchoolDigger’s group-specific effectiveness rankings differ from the overall standing: White students were at the 35th percentile in 2025–26 versus 59 overall, while English language learner students were at the 91st percentile in 2023–24 versus 66 overall that year.
