Summary:

Pajaro Valley Unified includes 31 schools—19 elementary, six middle and six high schools—serving students from elementary through high school, with 2025–2026 results showing substantial differences across the area. Some schools exceed state proficiency rates in all three subjects, while many others fall well short; the most important finding is how widely school results vary.

Valencia Elementary and Rio del Mar Elementary are the strongest broad-performing elementary schools: Valencia leads in ELA and science, with 62% and 58% proficiency, while Rio leads in math at 53%. Both are above state results in all three subjects. For example, Valencia is 22 percentage points above the state in science, and Rio is 15 points above in math. Diamond Technology Institute has the highest schoolwide ELA result at 77%, but its math result is 23%, 16 points below the state. At the low end, Amesti Elementary has the lowest ELA result at 7%, New School Community Day the lowest reported math result at 0%, and Hall District Elementary the lowest science result at 3%.

Recent movement is mixed: the average school ELA result rose by 2 percentage points, narrowing its gap with the state, while science gains lagged the state and widened the gap by 2 points. Notable exceptions include Pajaro Valley High, whose ELA rose 11 points, and Diamond, whose science fell 30 points even as its ELA and math improved. SchoolDigger’s ranking percentile for Watsonville Charter School of the Arts rose from 16 to 45; it also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate, 7%, compared with 21% districtwide. As context, free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025 were 37% at Valencia and 22% at Rio; these figures do not explain school results. Because schools serve different grade spans, schoolwide figures are a broad overview rather than a like-for-like ranking.
