Summary

Chabot Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving 496 students in the Castro Valley Unified school district, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in California.

Academically, Chabot significantly outperforms state averages, with nearly 75% of students proficient in math and over 60% in science. The school is particularly effective in supporting all students, with historically underserved subgroups performing at very high levels compared to schools statewide. It also maintains an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.5%, a sign of strong student engagement and a healthy school climate. While Proctor Elementary within the same district scores slightly higher, Chabot stands out for its strength in science education and its efficient use of resources, achieving excellent results with moderate per-student spending.

Within Castro Valley, Chabot's consistent high performance across all student groups and its successful recovery from pandemic-related challenges, like reducing absenteeism back to pre-pandemic levels, make it a standout choice for families.
