Summary:

Pleasant Valley has 11 schools—nine classified as elementary and two as middle schools—serving grades from kindergarten through grade 8. In 2025–26, the schools’ average proficiency was 60% in ELA, 51% in math, and 46% in science, compared with California averages of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The most important finding is that results vary widely from school to school, especially in science, where the highest and lowest all-grades results are 51 percentage points apart.

La Mariposa leads the group in all three subjects, with 79% proficiency in ELA, 77% in math, and 70% in science—19, 26, and 24 points above the school averages. At the other end, Pleasant Valley School of Engineering and Arts is lowest in all three, at 40%, 29%, and 19%, respectively. Santa Rosa Technology Magnet is another strong performer, ranking second in all-grades ELA and science. Among the two middle schools, Las Colinas Middle leads Monte Vista Middle in math, 51% to 32%.

From 2024–25 to 2025–26, average ELA and math results fell by about 2 percentage points, while science rose by about 3; the average gap over California narrowed in all three subjects. Individual changes differed: Dos Caminos Elementary gained 22 points in science, while Las Posas Elementary fell 11 points in math. SchoolDigger ranks La Mariposa in California’s 94th percentile and Pleasant Valley School of Engineering and Arts in the 38th; these are relative rankings, not test scores. As context, both report free/reduced lunch eligibility for school year 2024–25: 64% at Dos Caminos and 61% at Pleasant Valley School of Engineering and Arts, despite markedly different grade 5 results. The figures offer useful points of comparison, but do not establish why schools’ results differ.
