Summary

Foothill Intermediate serves 237 students in grades 6–8 in Marysville, within the Marysville Joint Unified district. It is the smallest of the ten schools in the nearby comparison, and its student-teacher ratio is also relatively low. The most important takeaway is that Foothill’s ELA and math results are stronger than nearby averages, but proficiency remains below state rates in all three subjects, with science the clearest weakness.

In 2025–2026, Foothill ranked fourth among the ten schools in ELA and math, and eighth in science. About 40% of students met ELA standards and 23% met math standards—roughly 7 and 3 percentage points above nearby averages, respectively. Both subjects were also above district rates, by 6 points in ELA and 2 in math, but below state rates by 9 and 15 points. Science proficiency was about 16%, 6 points below the nearby average and 7 below the district; it was 20 points below the state. These comparisons make science a concern beyond its low statewide result: it also trails local peers.

Longer-term results are mixed, with recent declines to watch: since 2022–2023, ELA has gained 5 points and math 9, while science has fallen 5; from the prior year, ELA dropped 9 points and science 10. SchoolDigger ranked Foothill 1,775 of 2,703 schools (34th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, down 17 percentile points from the year before, though its percentile is third-highest among these ten schools. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 17.6, versus a nearby average of 18.8; 65% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the second-lowest rate among nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s Hispanic Students ranking—a statewide measure of how well the school serves that group—fell from the 75th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 39th in 2025–2026, while the overall percentile was 34 in the latest year. Its White Students ranking was also notably lower than the overall result: 16th percentile versus 34th in 2025–2026.
