Summary:
Zip code 95631’s three reported schools serve separate grade spans: Foresthill Elementary covers kindergarten through grade 3, Foresthill Divide serves grades 4–8, and Foresthill High serves grades 9–12. Their results vary sharply by subject rather than showing one consistent top school: the high school leads in English language arts (ELA), the elementary school leads in math, and Divide leads in science. The most important takeaway is that a school’s strengths in one subject can sit alongside substantial weaknesses in another.
Foresthill High stands out in 2025–26 All Grades ELA, with 69% proficiency—20 percentage points above the state’s 49%—but has the lowest math result, 17%, or 21 points below the state. Foresthill Elementary has the area’s highest reported All Grades math result at 33%, though that is 6 points below the state; its third-grade ELA and math results are 22 and 14 points below state results. Foresthill Divide leads the two schools reporting science, at 38% compared with the high school’s 26%, and is 2 points above the state. Divide’s near-state overall ELA result masks grade differences: seventh- and eighth-grade ELA are 14 and 9 points above state results, while fourth-grade ELA is 12 points below.
Recent results show different subject trends at the two schools with two years of data: math fell by 1 point at Divide and 6 points at High; science edged up by less than a point at Divide but fell by 14 points at High. SchoolDigger’s ranking percentile rose from 55 to 63 for Divide and fell from 79 to 53 for High between 2023–24 and 2025–26; both have three stars in 2025–26. Attendance also distinguishes them: 2025–26 chronic absenteeism was 14% at Divide, 16% at Elementary, and 28% at High, versus 18% statewide. In 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 43%, 40%, and 37%, respectively; student-teacher ratios were 18.7 at Elementary and Divide and 17.2 at High. These measures provide context, not an explanation for achievement, and the schools serve different grades, so cross-school comparisons are not grade-matched.
