Summary:
Walnut Valley Unified has nine elementary schools serving K–5, with enrollments from 485 to 709 students and an average of 636. In 2025–2026, the schools’ unweighted averages were 71% in ELA, 72% in math and 62% in science—22, 34 and 26 percentage points above California, respectively. But results vary substantially from school to school: even though every school scored above the state in all three subjects, the ranges across schools were about 22–25 percentage points.
The leaders differ by subject. Maple Hill led ELA with 82%, 13 points above the other schools’ average; Leonard G. Westhoff led math with 81%, 11 points above its peers’ average; and Quail Summit led science with 76%, 16 points above its peers’ average. At the lower end, Vejar had the lowest ELA and math results, 58% and 59%, each about 15 points below the other schools’ average. Collegewood had the lowest science result, 51%, 12 points below its peers’ average.
Recent changes were mixed, with the average school result down 2 points in ELA and math and essentially unchanged in science; California’s results rose in all three subjects, narrowing the schools’ average lead. Westhoff and Cyrus J. Morris were exceptions, improving in every subject, including science gains of 11 and 14 points. SchoolDigger ranks Westhoff 175th of 5,804 schools, Maple Hill 206th and Quail Summit 317th; it gives the district five stars and ranks it 54th of 968 districts. As context, for school year 2024–2025, all nine schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares, ranging from 20% at Westhoff to 32% at Vejar; these figures describe the schools, not what explains their results.
