Summary:

Schools in zip code 95667 include 19 schools—6 elementary, 4 middle, 3 high and 6 alternative—with grade spans from elementary-only to K–12 and enrollments ranging from 12 to 3,378. Results are reported across 2024–25 and 2025–26, and schools in the list vary in grade span and program. The central takeaway is that results are highly uneven: the gaps between the highest and lowest reported school results range from 49 to 53 points in 2024–25 and from 51 to 74 points in 2025–26.

Several schools stand out, but strengths differ by subject and year. In 2024–25, Mountainside Middle College High led ELA at 66%, Sutters Mill led math at 51%, and Charter Home Study Academy led science at 58%. In 2025–26, Sutters Mill led ELA at 64% and math at 74%, while Charter Home Study Academy led science at 55%. At the low end, Independence Continuation had the lowest 2024–25 results in ELA (16%), math (2%) and science (5%). In 2025–26, El Dorado County Office of Educational Special Educational Programs reported 0% in ELA and math; Independence Continuation reported 0% in math and the lowest science result, 3%.

Year-to-year movement varies by school: among schools with results in both years, average results dipped about 1 point in ELA and math, while science rose about 1 point. Yet Pleasant Valley Middle improved by 15 points in ELA, 10 in math and 18 in science, while Gold Oak Elementary fell 18 points in science. Within the same district, Sierra Elementary outscored Louisiana Schnell Elementary in every shared tested grade in 2025–26; SchoolDigger ranked them at the 69th and 12th percentiles statewide, respectively. Their free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 51% and 70%, respectively, for 2024–25—context that does not explain the score differences.
