Summary:
The 95842 high-school list contains one school, Foothill High, serving grades 9–12 with 1,417 students. With no other high school in the list, families have no local peer-school comparison here. The most concerning finding is chronic absenteeism: 52% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, 33 percentage points above the state rate.
Foothill High is both the highest- and lowest-ranked school in this one-school set by default. Its 2025–26 test results were below the state in all three subjects: 40% in ELA, 16% in mathematics and 19% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide. The gaps were 9, 22 and 17 points, respectively, making mathematics the clearest academic concern. Compared with Twin Rivers Unified, Foothill was 4 points higher in ELA, 11 points lower in mathematics and 2 points lower in science. Completion measures look stronger: graduation was 94%, 7 points above the state, while the dropout rate was 5 points lower. Chronic absenteeism was also 8 points above the district’s 44% rate.
Results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 in all three subjects: Foothill gained 2 points in ELA, 3 in mathematics and 5 in science, and narrowed its state gaps in each, although scores remain below state results. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from the 28th percentile with 1 star in 2023–24 to the 33rd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26. As context, 92% of Foothill students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; its reported student–teacher ratio was 21.8 to 1 that year. These figures offer context, but there are no other schools in this list for comparison.
