Summary:

The Galt Joint Union Elementary district serves about 3,400 students across seven schools—six elementary and one middle school—with all schools consistently earning a 3-star rating, placing the district in the top third statewide.

Parents will find that Lake Canyon Elementary and Marengo Ranch Elementary lead in academic performance, while Valley Oaks Elementary stands out for its very low chronic absenteeism and notable recent improvement. In contrast, Fairsite Elementary faces a significant challenge with student attendance, despite having the most resources per student.

The district outperforms state averages in English and math, though math scores drop notably at Robert L. McCaffrey Middle school. Science scores vary widely between schools, and the strong link between good attendance and academic improvement is clearly seen at Valley Oaks, which has the district's best attendance record.
