Summary
Journey is a K–6 elementary school in Moreno Valley, California, with 570 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grade proficiency rates were 36% in English language arts (ELA), 27% in math and 24% in science. The key takeaway is that Journey did better than the district and the 10-school nearby average in all three subjects, but remained below California’s rates in each.
Math is Journey’s strongest all-grade result against nearby schools: its 27% proficiency rate was 4 points above the nearby average, 7 points above Moreno Valley Unified, and ranked second among the 11 schools; it was still 11 points below the state. ELA was 36%, 5 points above the nearby average and 1 point above the district, but 13 points below the state. Science was 24%, 6 points above the nearby average and 4 points above the district, yet 12 points below the state. Third-grade ELA stands out: Journey’s 48% was higher than the state’s 44% and every nearby school’s rate. Results were weaker in upper-grade math, particularly fifth and sixth grades, where proficiency was 18% and 16%, respectively, compared with 37% and 37% statewide.
All-grade scores rose between 2022–2023 and 2025–2026: ELA increased 4 points, math 5 points and science 15 points. Much of the science gain came in the latest year, when the rate rose 16 points, so it remains to be seen whether that improvement continues. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 44% to 30%, but was still above the state’s 18% and the nearby average of 26%. SchoolDigger placed Journey at the 32nd percentile statewide with 2 stars in 2025–2026, up 9 percentile points from the prior year; its student-teacher ratio was 25.5 in 2024–2025, and 82% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for African American students was at the 67th percentile, notably above Journey’s 32nd-percentile overall ranking, indicating a stronger result on its measure of how well the school serves that group. Nearby schools do not all serve the same grade span as Journey, so those comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.
