Summary:
The 95961 zip code area is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Marysville Joint Unified District, except for Cobblestone Elementary and Rio Del Oro Elementary, which belong to the Plumas Lake Elementary District.
The two standout schools in the area are Cobblestone Elementary and Rio Del Oro Elementary, which consistently outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Both schools have a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and rank in the top third of California elementary schools. In contrast, many of the other schools, especially those in the Marysville district, struggle with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and high poverty levels, as indicated by their high free and reduced lunch rates.
The data also reveals concerning metrics at the South Lindhurst Continuation High school, which has a 73.1% chronic absenteeism rate, 10.8% dropout rate, and test scores far below the district and state averages. This suggests a need for significant interventions and support for this high-risk student population. Overall, the 95961 zip code area presents a mixed picture, with a few high-performing outliers but many struggling schools that require additional resources and support to improve student outcomes and address the widespread economic disadvantage in the community.
