Summary:
The city of Foresthill, California is home to two schools: Foresthill Divide, an elementary school, and Foresthill High, a high school. While both schools perform reasonably well, Foresthill High stands out as the clear standout, consistently ranking in the top 25% of California high schools over the past three years.
Foresthill High boasts an impressive 97.1% four-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, significantly outperforming state averages. Academically, the school's students excel in English Language Arts/Literacy, with 76.6% proficiency compared to 70.94% for the Foresthill Union Elementary district and 55.73% for the state. In contrast, Foresthill Divide Elementary, while performing reasonably well, does not stand out as strongly as the high school.
The data suggests that the transition from elementary to high school may be a challenge for some students in the district, as evidenced by the significant difference in academic performance between the two schools. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools, particularly at Foresthill High (36.8%), are concerning and may be impacting student learning and achievement. The district may benefit from reviewing its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to better align with statewide standards and expectations, especially in the area of Mathematics.
