SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 12% of California elementary schools

Summary

Louisiana Schnell Elementary serves 370 students in grades K–5 in Placerville, California. Its 2025–2026 test results were below both state and district averages in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most important finding for families is that the school’s results are low across all three subjects, not just one.

The school trails the state and Placerville Union Elementary in every tested subject: ELA proficiency was 24%, compared with 49% statewide and 42% districtwide; math was 19%, compared with 38% and 32%; and science was 17%, compared with 36% and 37%. It also scored below the nearby K–5 schools Sierra Elementary, Buckeye Elementary, and Gold Oak Elementary in ELA and science. Its math result was below all three as well, including Gold Oak. The weakest grade-level results were fifth-grade math at 8% and fourth-grade ELA at 16%.

There has been longer-term progress in science: proficiency rose from 6% in 2023–2024 to 17% in 2025–2026. ELA rose from 16% to 24% over those years, while math was nearly flat, moving from 19% to 19%; all three subjects fell further behind the state than the year before. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 12th percentile and gives it one star, the lowest current percentile among nearby schools with a reported rank. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 23.1, and 70% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year; the supplied data identifies California as a statewide-free-meals state. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Male Students fell from the 24th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 6th in 2025–2026, indicating a sharp decline in the school’s relative standing for serving that group. For English Language Learner Students, its reported ranking dropped from the 65th percentile in 2020–2021 to the 1st in 2023–2024; no latest-year ranking was provided.
