Summary

Foresthill Divide is a public middle school serving 309 students in grades 3 through 8 in the rural community of Foresthill, operating within the Foresthill Union Elementary school district.

Academically, the school shows a clear strength in Science, where student proficiency is above the state average, though it lags slightly behind in English and Math. A notable concern is a significant drop in Math scores by 8th grade, which is lower than at nearby schools like Weimar Hills and Seven Hills Intermediate. The school's performance for different groups of students has been inconsistent from year to year, and its chronic absenteeism rate has risen to be slightly higher than the state average, unlike schools such as Union Hill Middle which have much lower rates.

With a smaller enrollment than many area middle schools, Foresthill Divide offers a more intimate setting. It spends more per student than most comparable schools, including Edwin Markham Middle and Magnolia Intermediate, though this higher investment has not yet led to superior academic outcomes. For families, the school's science program is a positive, but addressing math performance in the upper grades and student attendance appear to be key areas for improvement as the school works to leverage its resources effectively.
