Summary

Alexander Valley Elementary is a small, high-performing K-6 public school serving 111 students in the rural Healdsburg area, consistently earning top ratings and ranking in the 86th percentile of all California elementary schools.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, with students scoring well above state averages in English, math, and science, and for its exceptionally low rate of chronic student absenteeism, which is less than half the state average. This success is supported by a favorable student-teacher ratio of about 14-to-1 and higher per-student spending than most neighboring schools. The school benefits from being part of the highly-ranked Alexander Valley Union Elementary district and has shown stable, excellent performance for over a decade.

When compared to nearby schools, Alexander Valley's small size appears to be a significant advantage, fostering a tight-knit community. While it outperforms most neighbors, an interesting comparison is with West Side Elementary, a similarly small school that achieves even higher test scores with fewer resources, suggesting both schools employ very effective teaching practices. The school's performance is notably stronger than that of larger nearby schools in other districts, such as those in the Windsor Unified or Mark West Union Elementary districts.
