Original Research by School Decision on Fiddyment Farm
Fiddyment Farm Elementary sits in the 95747 zip code of west Roseville, a part of the city that has been growing quickly as new residential neighborhoods spread outward from the older urban core. The school serves kindergarten through fifth grade within the Roseville City Elementary school district, and it draws from what is publicly described as one of Roseville's expanding family-oriented areas.
Roseville itself has grown from a Sacramento-area bedroom community into a regional center anchored by healthcare systems, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise campus, Union Pacific Railroad, and a substantial retail sector. Employers like Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Roseville Medical Center are among the largest private employers in the area. The housing market around the school reflects that regional desirability: home values sit well above the national midpoint and substantially above the California statewide median, though values have edged slightly downward in the most recent year. Rents have moved in the opposite direction. The estimated monthly cost of ownership, at current mortgage rates, runs considerably above what the national median household income would comfortably support, a gap a family should weigh carefully.
On the California statewide assessments, Fiddyment Farm's third graders perform at a solid level in both English language arts and math, placing the school's earliest-tested cohort in reasonably strong territory. Proficiency rates in both subjects decline across fourth and fifth grade, with fifth grade math and ELA both coming in below the school's third-grade marks by a noticeable margin. Fifth-grade science results on the state's CAST assessment land below half of tested students reaching proficiency. Taken together, across tested subjects and grades, the school sits just above the midpoint among districts in Placer County, relative to districts in Placer County. That is a meaningful position in a competitive county, though the grade-to-grade decline is something a parent may want to ask the school about directly, whether it reflects curriculum pacing, population shifts across cohorts, or something else. Trend data covering multiple years was not available, so it is not possible to say whether these results are improving, stable, or declining.
A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a higher proportion than one might expect given the neighborhood's housing costs. The student body is racially diverse, with White students making up the largest single group, followed by meaningful shares of Asian, Hispanic, and multiracial students. Data on English learner status and students with IEPs was not reported, so those dimensions of the school's population are not known from this data.
The district context matters for a family considering this school. Roseville City Elementary is managing rapid enrollment growth across west Roseville. A new school, Winding Creek Elementary, is publicly reported to be opening in August 2026 just north of the Westpark neighborhood, and students residing in its attendance boundary are being assigned to it for the coming school year. The district is also planning a broader boundary adjustment process whose effects would take hold in 2027-28. A family buying a home in west Roseville or renewing a lease should confirm directly with the district which school their address maps to, because that assignment could shift before an elementary-age child finishes all six grades. The earlier cancellation of a planned school in the Amoruso Ranch development, due to a documented funding shortfall, is a reminder that growth in this part of the district continues to outpace facility planning.
Program offerings for Fiddyment Farm were not available in the data provided, so specifics about enrichment, intervention structures, or extracurricular options are not addressed here. Chronic absenteeism and detailed discipline data were also not reported, leaving those dimensions of the school environment uncharacterized.
