About Us

Sierra Hills School is a Transitional Kindergarten through 3rd grade school nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills. With a student population of 370, we are the foundation school whose children move up as a group to the neighboring Weimar Hills School for their fourth through eighth grade education. The students later compose two thirds of the graduating class of Colfax High School. 

Located in the small community of Meadow Vista, the school serves children from several rural communities covering 69 square miles. Our seventeen year old, ten acre school site was planned and built intentionally to serve K-2 students. The building of our school was the culmination of a fifteen year project designed to accommodate a growing population of families choosing to raise children in a country environment. A large, community park as well as a Christmas tree farm border our campus. 

24-25 Comprehensive School Safety Plan

Placer Hills Union School District is committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment for all students and staff. Each school maintains a Comprehensive School Safety Plan that is reviewed and updated annually and approved by the Board of Trustees. To protect student and staff safety, detailed emergency response procedures are not posted publicly. A summary of our safety priorities is provided above, and additional information may be requested by contacting the school site or District Office.
