Summary:

Livermore Valley Joint Unified has 18 listed schools—11 elementary, three middle and four high schools—serving students from elementary through high school, including alternative and continuation programs. In 2025–2026, the schools’ unweighted averages were 58% proficient in ELA, 50% in math and 44% in science, above state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%, but below district rates by 3, 3 and 4 percentage points, respectively. These averages count each school equally across different grade spans. The most important finding is how much results vary from school to school: the all-school ranges were 69 percentage points in ELA, 80 in math and 68 in science.

Sunset Elementary led all schools in ELA at 81%, while Emma C. Smith Elementary led in math at 80% and science at 74%. At the other end, Del Valle Continuation High had 12% proficiency in ELA, 0% in math and 6% in science. The pattern holds among more similar schools: within K–5, Sunset led ELA and Emma C. Smith led math and science, while Marylin Avenue Elementary was lowest in all three. Among the middle schools, William Mendenhall Middle led all three subjects and East Avenue Middle was lowest. At 11th grade, Granada High led the four listed high schools in ELA, math and science. SchoolDigger ranks Emma C. Smith and Lawrence Elementary at the 96th and 94th statewide percentiles, and Sunset at the 94th.

Average results changed in different directions from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA declined 1 percentage point, math rose 1 point and science declined 2 points; the average advantage over the state narrowed most in science, from 13 to 8 points. The same-grade-span K–8 schools also differ: Joe Michell outscored Junction K-8 by 17 points in ELA, 20 in math and 15 in science. Their 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measures were 18% at Joe Michell and 43% at Junction—context, not an explanation of results. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Junction rose from 27th to 42nd, while Vineyard Alternative fell from 65th to 31st.
