Summary:

The Great Valley Academy - Salida District in Modesto, California, contains a single K-8 school, Great Valley Academy - Salida, serving 927 students.

This school has experienced a notable decline in its statewide academic ranking over the past few years, falling from the 51st percentile in 2022-2023 to the 31st percentile in 2024-2025. Academically, student proficiency is below the California state average across all core subjects, with the largest gaps in mathematics and science. For instance, only about 20% of students are proficient in math compared to the 37% state average. Performance varies significantly by grade, with 4th grade being a relative strength, performing close to state averages in English, while middle school grades, particularly in math, face greater challenges.

Despite the academic trends, the school maintains a chronic absenteeism rate slightly better than the state average. It operates with a student-teacher ratio of about 25 to 1. The district's overall low ranking indicates these are systemic challenges. For parents, the key considerations are the school's downward performance trajectory and significant struggles in math and science, though 4th-grade performance and attendance management are positive aspects.
