Summary:
Schools in zip code 95661 include eight schools—four elementary, three middle and one high—covering elementary through high school. In 2025–2026, their unweighted average proficiency was 61% in ELA, 55% in math and 51% in science, compared with California averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. Math is the area’s strongest subject relative to the state, but results vary substantially: every school was above the state in math, yet the gap ranged from 2 percentage points at George Sargeant Elementary to 42 points at Maidu Elementary.
Olympus Junior High leads the group in ELA at 75% and science at 73%; it also scores 67% in math. SchoolDigger ranks it 154th of 2,703 schools, in the 94th percentile, and awards it five stars. Maidu Elementary leads in math at 81%, 42 points above the state. At the other end, George Sargeant Elementary is lowest in ELA (46%) and math (40%), while Crestmont Elementary is lowest in science (37%). Grade-matched results also show a gap between the middle schools: in grade 8, Olympus exceeds Warren T. Eich Middle by 10 points in ELA, 16 in math and 20 in science.
Recent results are mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the area’s average fell 1 point in ELA but rose 2 in math and 5 in science. SchoolDigger rankings improved for Oakmont High and Eich, while Crestmont and Stoneridge Elementary declined in percentile. Income figures are context, not an explanation: free/reduced lunch eligible shares in 2024–2025 ranged from 19% at Olympus to 51% at Crestmont, and schools with similar shares had differing results. Oakmont’s ELA result is strong at 67%, but its math result is 41%; its 92% graduation rate is below the Roseville Joint Union High rate of 96% and above the state’s 88%. All-grades results can reflect different grade spans, and the averages are unweighted.
