Summary

Vail Elementary serves 563 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Temecula, within Temecula Valley Unified. The school’s 2025–26 results show a broad academic concern: it scored below the district in all three tested subjects and below the state in English language arts (ELA) and math. Chronic absenteeism was also the highest among nearby schools with reported data, at 26%.

Compared with nearby K–5 schools, Vail was lowest in ELA and math: 44% were proficient in ELA and 31% in math, versus nearby-school averages of 65% and 55%. Its ELA result was 21 points below that average, and math was 25 points below. Vail’s 38% in science is a relative bright spot: it was 2 points above the state, though 13 points below the district and 11 points below the nearby-school average; only Temecula Elementary scored lower among the eight nearby K–5 schools. Absenteeism, at 26%, was 11 points above the district and 7 points above the state; the next-highest nearby rate was 21% at Temecula Elementary.

Results have shifted in different directions: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell by 6 points and math by 9, while science rose by 4. SchoolDigger ranked Vail at the 47th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, down from the 62nd percentile in 2022–23; nearby schools with same-year rankings ranged from the 62nd to 91st percentile. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well schools serve English Language Learner students placed Vail at the 1st percentile in 2023–24, down from the 55th percentile the year before, compared with Vail’s 49th-percentile overall ranking in 2023–24. For context, Vail’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 22.5, near the nearby-school average of 22.3. Its free/reduced lunch eligible share was 65% in 2024–25, the second-highest among nearby schools reporting that measure for the same year.
