Summary:

Hidden Valley Lake, California, is a small rural community served by one public elementary school, Coyote Valley Elementary, which educates about 427 students from Kindergarten through 6th grade within the Middletown Unified school district.

Coyote Valley Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently scoring above both the district and state averages in English, Math, and Science. The school has shown impressive improvement, moving into a higher statewide ranking percentile over the last three years and earning a 4-star rating. This is particularly notable given that the school serves a community where a significant portion of students face economic disadvantages.

While the school excels academically, a key area for attention is its high rate of chronic student absenteeism, which is above the state average. Performance also varies by grade, with a noticeable dip in 5th-grade math scores that suggests a potential need for targeted support. Overall, as the only school in the area, Coyote Valley Elementary is on a positive trajectory and is a crucial asset for the Hidden Valley Lake community.
