Chino Valley Unified

The Chino Valley Unified school district serves around 23,000 students across 35 schools in the Chino and Chino Hills area, ranking above average statewide and encompassing 23 elementary, 5 middle, and 7 high schools, including alternative programs.

Performance varies significantly across the district, with standout schools like Country Springs Elementary (ranked in the 99th percentile) and Ruben S. Ayala High (93rd percentile) achieving exceptional test scores and graduation rates, while others such as Dickson Elementary and Walnut Avenue Elementary face greater academic challenges. Middle schools in Chino Hills, like Canyon Hills Junior High, consistently perform very well, whereas alternative high schools, despite much higher per-student spending, struggle with proficiency and attendance.

Key takeaways include strong overall graduation rates (95.5%) and lower chronic absenteeism than the state average, though attendance issues are severe at alternative schools. Mathematics proficiency is a district-wide area for improvement, even at top schools. The data shows a clear pattern where schools with higher economic need tend to have lower test scores and higher absenteeism, indicating that family resources are a significant factor in student outcomes within the district.
