Foothill Intermediate

Foothill Intermediate sits in Marysville, a small city in the Sacramento Valley where the Feather River runs through and agriculture defines much of the local identity — it's the kind of place where community ties run deep and families tend to stay for generations. Scoring right around the middle of the pack statewide, Foothill offers a solid foundation for middle schoolers with slightly stronger English performance relative to math and science, making it a reasonable fit for families looking for a neighborhood school with a grounded, no-frills approach to education. Families who appreciate a close-knit school environment and don't mind a rural-suburban setting will find Marysville itself to be an affordable, unpretentious place to raise kids.
