Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 95765 include 18 schools serving elementary through high school grades: 12 elementary schools, one middle school and five high schools, with enrollment ranging from 42 to 2,041 students. The 2025–2026 school averages were above state proficiency rates in ELA, math and science, but those averages hide sharply different results from school to school; the biggest takeaway is that school choice matters, especially in math, where scores span 76 percentage points.
Whitney High and Valley View Elementary stand out at the top, while Victory High trails substantially. Whitney had the highest reported ELA and science results, at 84% and 64%; Valley View led in math, at 79%. Victory scored 17% in ELA, 3% in math and 8% in science—33, 35 and 28 points below state rates, respectively. Among the eight K–6 Rocklin Unified elementary schools with current results, Valley View led across all three subjects, while Twin Oaks Elementary was weakest overall. Across all schools with results, unweighted averages were 63% in ELA, 56% in math and 47% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%.
Compared with 2024–2025, the average school result rose about 1 percentage point in ELA, 1 in math and 5 in science, but individual schools moved in different directions: Whitney improved by 13 points in ELA, 16 in math and 23 in science, while Victory fell by 13, 3 and 4 points. SchoolDigger’s rankings also tell a mixed story: Sunset Ranch Elementary rose from the 84th to the 91st percentile, while Victory fell from the 25th to the 10th. As context, the reported low-income measure for all schools is free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025: Valley View was at 15% and Twin Oaks at 34%, but these figures alone do not explain school results. Western Sierra Collegiate Academy also posted strong 2024–2025 scores and a 98th-percentile SchoolDigger ranking, though newer schoolwide scores were not supplied.
