Schools in Latrobe · El Dorado County

Fifty ranked public schools spread across 14 districts give El Dorado County families an unusually wide menu of options, from traditional neighborhood elementaries to eight charter schools serving distinct educational philosophies. Nearly half the county's schools rank in the top quartile statewide — a striking concentration of strong performers for a largely foothill-and-mountain region stretching from El Dorado Hills to South Lake Tahoe. Buckeye Union Mandarin Immersion Charter leads the county at the 100th percentile statewide, offering dual-language instruction that's rare anywhere in California, while John Adams Academy rounds out an El Dorado Hills cluster that consistently outperforms most of the state in both English and math.
