Summary:
The Round Valley Joint Elementary area has one elementary school, Round Valley Elementary, serving grades K–5 and enrolling 68 students. In 2025–2026, the school had 85% of students proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), 74% in math, and 58% in science, compared with 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. Its strongest area-wide finding is that it was ahead of California in all three subjects, by 36 points in ELA, 35 points in math, and 22 points in science.
There is no separate top or bottom school to compare: Round Valley is the area’s only school. Within the school, Grade 5 results stand out relative to state results: ELA proficiency was 92% versus 49%, a 43-point advantage; math was 83% versus 37%, a 47-point advantage; and science was 58% versus 35%, a 23-point advantage. Grade 3 was also above the state, by 25 points in ELA (69% versus 44%) and 15 points in math (62% versus 47%). The smallest of these grade-level margins was Grade 3 math.
All-grades scores rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and the school’s lead over the state widened: ELA increased by 11 points and its advantage grew by 11 points; math increased by 9 points and its advantage grew by 8 points. Separately, SchoolDigger gives the school five stars and places it at rank 70 of 968, in the 93rd percentile; its listed percentile rose from 69th in 2022–2023 to 80th in 2023–2024 and 89th in 2025–2026. Context measures show an 11.3:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 24% free/reduced lunch eligible that year; California also reports that all students receive free meals (Community Eligibility). Chronic absenteeism was 17% in 2025–2026, 1 point below the statewide 18%. Because the area has only one school, these figures cannot show how it compares with other local schools.
