Elementary Schools in Livermore Valley Joint Unified

Summary:

The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District serves approximately 7,334 students across 11 elementary schools, ranging from traditional K-5 campuses to the K-8 Junction K-8, with the district as a whole significantly outperforming California state averages in English, Math, and Science proficiency.

Academic performance varies widely, with standout schools like Emma C. Smith Elementary, Lawrence Elementary, and Sunset Elementary ranking in the state's top percentiles, while Junction K-8 and Marylin Avenue Elementary face greater challenges with lower test scores and higher rates of chronic student absenteeism.

Five schools, including Altamont Creek Elementary and Rancho Las Positas Elementary, form a solid middle cluster performing near district averages, and a clear pattern emerges where schools with lower chronic absenteeism consistently achieve higher academic results across the Livermore Valley Joint Unified district.
