Summary:

The Livermore Valley Joint Unified district serves roughly 13,000 students across 18 schools in Livermore, California, including 11 elementary, 3 middle, 3 high, and 1 alternative school, ranking in the top quarter of districts statewide.

Overall, the district performs well above state averages, with particularly strong graduation rates and standout elementary schools like Emma C. Smith Elementary and Lawrence Elementary, which rank in the top 6% of California elementary schools. Among high schools, Granada High consistently outperforms Livermore High in test scores and graduation rates, while all three middle schools, led by William Mendenhall Middle, show solid and consistent performance.

Performance varies significantly across schools, with a clear correlation between economic disadvantage and academic outcomes; schools like Junction K-8 and Marylin Avenue Elementary face greater challenges. The district's alternative programs, Vineyard Alternative and Del Valle Continuation High, receive high per-student funding but struggle with extreme chronic absenteeism and very low test scores, highlighting areas for targeted support.
