Summary:

Zip code 95736 has one listed school, Weimar Hills, a middle school serving grades 4–8 with 388 students in the Placer Hills Union Elementary district. Its 2025–2026 all-grades proficiency rates were above California’s in all three tested subjects: ELA was 52% versus 49% statewide, math was 46% versus 38%, and science was 46% versus 36. The clearest overall strength is science, where the school led the state by 10 percentage points.

There is no meaningful top-to-bottom school comparison because Weimar Hills is the only school listed, but its grade-level results show both strong and weaker spots. Grade 4 ELA was 63%, 18 points above the state, while grade 6 ELA was 38%, 10 points below. Grade 8 math stood out at 58%, 22 points above the state; grade 7 math was 37%, 1 point below. In science, grade 5 reached 54%, 19 points above the state, while grade 8 was 35%, 1 point below. These differences suggest families should look beyond the schoolwide averages when considering results for a particular grade.

Across the two years of all-grades scores, the school improved in each subject, but its state-relative progress varied: ELA rose from 51% to 52% and its lead edged up from 2.5 to 3 points; math moved from 46% to 46% as the state gained ground, narrowing the school’s lead from 8.4 to 7.7 points; and science increased from 41% to 46%, widening its lead from 8 to 10 points. SchoolDigger gives the school a 3-star rating and ranks it at the 60th percentile (1,077 of 2,703 schools), down from the 66th percentile in each of the prior two years. Other context includes an 18.2 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025, 35% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and 13% chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide and 13% in the district. With just one listed school, comparisons among schools are not possible.
