Summary

Penryn Elementary is a highly-rated K-8 public school serving about 250 students in the well-regarded Loomis Union Elementary district, known for its strong, consistent academic performance and excellent student attendance.

The school truly shines in mathematics, where its proficiency rate is the highest among all traditional elementary schools in its district, outperforming even higher-ranked schools like Loomis Basin Charter. It also shows a particular strength in supporting its male students, who rank in the top 7% statewide. While the school invests more per student than some district peers, it delivers reliable, high-quality results year after year, with a decade-long history of performing well above the state average.

When looking at opportunities, the school's science scores, while good, are not as strong as its math and English scores compared to nearby schools like Placer Elementary and Ophir STEAM Academy. Families should also note there is strong competition from a top-tier school in a neighboring district, Valley View Elementary in the Rocklin Unified district, which posts slightly higher proficiency rates. Overall, Penryn Elementary is a standout choice for its math excellence, stable environment, and effective support for all students.
