Summary

Valley View Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 629 students in the high-performing Pleasanton Unified school district, which is ranked in the top 10% statewide.

While Valley View is a solid school that outperforms state averages, its academic results are notably lower than most other elementary schools in its own district. For example, its proficiency rates in English and Math are roughly 15-20 percentage points below the district average and significantly trail nearby schools like Walnut Grove Elementary and Henry P. Mohr Elementary. The school also faces a challenge with chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 11.7% that is higher than the district average and most neighboring schools.

Performance for students from low-income families has declined sharply in recent years, and the school's overall statewide ranking has slipped. It's important to note that Valley View spends more per student than some higher-performing schools in the area, such as Donlon Elementary and Fairlands Elementary. This suggests the school may need targeted strategies to improve attendance and support for specific student groups to align its outcomes more closely with the excellent reputation of the Pleasanton Unified district.
