School Overview

Nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills, Edwin Markham Middle sits in Placerville — a historic Gold Rush town with a tight-knit community feel and easy access to outdoor adventures like hiking, skiing, and lake days at Folsom or Tahoe. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with science being a particular strength, which fits well with the nature-forward lifestyle many El Dorado County families embrace. It's a good fit for families who value a smaller-town environment where kids aren't lost in the crowd, and where the surrounding landscape is as much a part of growing up as anything inside the classroom.
