Summary:
The Moraga Elementary School District, serving grades K-5 in an affluent community, consists of three high-performing elementary schools that collectively rank in the 97th percentile statewide, significantly outperforming California averages in all core subjects.
Among these excellent schools, Donald L. Rheem Elementary stands out as the top-ranked, leading in English and Math proficiency, while Los Perales Elementary boasts exceptional student attendance with the lowest chronic absenteeism and leads in 5th-grade Science. Camino Pablo Elementary offers the most favorable student-teacher ratio and shows strong, consistent performance across grades.
All three schools have maintained top 5-star ratings, with the district's results exceeding state averages by over 30 percentage points. An interesting point for parents is that higher per-student spending doesn't directly correlate with higher test scores here; Los Perales achieves its strong results with the lowest spending. A notable anomaly is that Donald L. Rheem, despite leading in most subjects, has lower Science proficiency than its peers, which the district may wish to examine further.
