Elementary Schools in Alpine Union Elementary

The four elementary schools in Alpine Union Elementary serve kindergarten through grade 8 across different grade spans, with Creekside Early Learning Center serving kindergarten only. Three schools have 2025–2026 test results; their unweighted averages were 47% in ELA, 47% in math and 39% in science, compared with state figures of 49%, 38% and 36%. The clearest finding is that Shadow Hills Elementary leads the schools with results in all three subjects.

Shadow Hills scored 53% in ELA, 53% in math and 53% in science, leading Boulder Oaks Elementary by 11, 13 and 31 percentage points, respectively. Boulder Oaks had the lowest scores in each subject—42% in ELA, 40% in math and 22% in science—and was below the state in ELA and science, though slightly above it in math. Mountain View Learning Academy had a mixed profile: its 44% ELA score was below the state, while its 46% math and 42% science scores were above. Its reported sixth-grade results were much weaker: 33% in ELA and 8% in math, versus state figures of 48% and 37%. Creekside has no test results in the data, and some Mountain View grade-level results are not available.

Recent trends favor caution: the three-school average fell 2 points in ELA, 1 in math and 2 in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while state results rose by less than 1 point in ELA, 1 in math and 3 in science. Mountain View improved in ELA and math, but Boulder Oaks declined in all three subjects, including 19 points in science; Shadow Hills’ science score rose 11 points. SchoolDigger ranks Shadow Hills at the 73rd statewide percentile and Boulder Oaks at the 49th. As context, their student–teacher ratios are 20.9 and 22.9; in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 33% and 40%, respectively. Chronic absenteeism was below state and district rates at all four schools.
