Summary

Susan La Vorgna Elementary serves 649 students in grades K–5 in Winchester, in the Temecula Valley Unified area. Its 2025–2026 results were above California’s proficiency rates in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but below the district in all three. The key takeaway is that the school is above state levels, while science is its clearest concern compared with the district and nearby schools.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject locally: it ranked fourth among eight nearby K–5 schools with current results, close to their average of 59%. Math ranked seventh and science eighth; the peer averages were 51% in math and 47% in science, compared with 46% and 41% at Susan. The school nevertheless exceeded state rates by about 9 points in ELA, 8 in math, and 5 in science, while trailing the district by about 6, 5, and 10 points, respectively. Fifth-grade math is a particular pressure point: 37% met proficiency, about level with the state and 13 points below the district; only Nicolas Valley Elementary scored lower among the eight schools.

Scores improved in all three subjects in the latest year, but remain below their 2022–2023 levels in ELA and math; science is slightly higher overall despite a sharp dip and rebound. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 32% in 2021–2022 to 12% in 2025–2026—below the latest state rate of 18% and district rate of 15%. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 70th statewide percentile and gave it 3 stars in 2025–2026. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 24:1, and 43% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these are context, not explanations for test results. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings point to differences in how well the school serves some groups: its 2025–2026 ranking for White Students was at the 45th percentile, compared with 70th overall, while its 2024–2025 ranking for Multi-racial Students was at the 12th percentile, down from the 43rd percentile in 2021–2022.

Open Quote As I live in front of the school I have to say people are amazingly quiet coming and going to school each school day. I thank you very much for this however my side yard landscaping gets messed up onto sidewalk as well as litter is left by people. Close Quote
