Summary

Weimar Hills is a public middle school serving 388 students in grades 4 through 8 in Weimar, CA, operating within the Placer Hills Union Elementary district and ranking above the state average in core academic subjects.

Academically, the school consistently outperforms the California average in English, Math, and Science, with particular strengths in mathematics and science compared to many nearby schools like Lyman Gilmore Middle and Magnolia Intermediate. It maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 18.2, which is lower than peers such as Gold Trail and Seven Hills Intermediate, and has successfully reduced chronic absenteeism to a rate better than the state and several local schools.

While overall performance is solid, the school shows variability, with 4th and 8th graders excelling but middle grades sometimes lagging, and a notable performance gap exists between female and male students. Its statewide ranking has gradually declined over the years, suggesting other schools are improving at a faster pace. Compared to the area, Weimar Hills is distinguished by its balanced academic profile, higher per-student spending, and effective management of student attendance.
