Summary

Proctor Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving 613 students in the strong Castro Valley Unified district, consistently ranking in the top 5-10% of all California elementary schools for the past decade.

The school excels academically, with over three-quarters of students proficient in English and Math—well above district and state averages—and shows particular strength in science. Proctor Elementary stands out for its remarkable effectiveness in supporting students from all economic backgrounds, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide for serving low-income students. It also maintains a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.1%, which is linked to its high achievement.

While other high-performing schools exist in the district, like Jensen Ranch Elementary, Proctor is noted for its consistent year-to-year results and success with a diverse student population. The contrast with nearby schools in other districts is stark; for example, Hillside Elementary in San Lorenzo Unified spends significantly more per student but has dramatically lower academic performance, highlighting the advantage of being in the Castro Valley district.
