About schools in Placer County

Roseville, Rocklin, and Granite Bay form the academic core of Placer County's sprawling public school landscape, which spans 16 districts and 115 ranked schools across foothill terrain stretching toward the Sierra Nevada. More than half of those schools land in the top quartile statewide — a remarkable concentration of strong performers. Willma Cavitt Junior High in Granite Bay ranks 97th percentile statewide, while Western Sierra Collegiate Academy in Rocklin reaches the 96th. Seventeen charter schools add further variety to a county where families in the western growth corridors especially will find consistently competitive options at every grade level.
