Summary

Valley View Elementary is a 629-student K–5 school in Pleasanton, part of Pleasanton Unified. Its 2025–26 test results were above California averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science, yet below the district in all three subjects. The most important local finding is that Valley View had the lowest all-grades results in all three subjects among the nine nearby K–5 schools in this comparison.

Math is Valley View’s strongest result relative to the state: 59%, compared with 38%; its ELA result was 58% versus 49%, and science was 51% versus 36%. But it was behind the district by 20 points in ELA, 15 in math and 13 in science. It also fell short of the nearby-school averages by 19 points in ELA, 19 in math and 16 in science. The grade-level comparisons point to particular gaps in third-grade ELA and fifth-grade math: Valley View scored 50% and 51%, respectively, each below the next-lowest nearby school in that grade and subject.

Over time, ELA and science results declined from 2022–23 to 2025–26 by 4 and 3 points, while math rose by 1 point. State-relative gaps narrowed, but Valley View’s gaps below the district widened in ELA and science. SchoolDigger rates the school at the 78th percentile and 4 stars statewide, down from the 85th percentile in 2021–22; all nine nearby K–5 schools rank higher. Its 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible share was 21%, the highest among these schools, whose range was 4.6%–16.3%; its student-teacher ratio was 24.1, close to the nearby average of 24.5. Attendance has improved, with chronic absenteeism falling from 21% to 12%, though the latest rate was higher than at nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s subgroup ranking is notably lower for Low Socio Economic Status Students: the 23rd percentile, compared with the school’s overall 78th percentile.
