Summary

Journey is a public elementary school serving about 570 students in grades K-6 in Moreno Valley, California, operating within its own small Journey District.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with student test scores in English, math, and especially science falling well below state averages; its 8% science proficiency is the lowest among all nearby schools. The school also struggles with a high rate of chronic student absenteeism, at nearly 35%, which is linked to lower academic performance. Interestingly, Journey spends more per student than most other elementary schools in the Moreno Valley Unified area, such as Moreno Elementary and Sunnymead Elementary, yet has a higher student-to-teacher ratio and middling results compared to its peers.

When compared to surrounding schools, Journey's performance is in the middle of the pack. It scores higher in English than schools like Serrano Elementary and Ramona Elementary, but significantly lower than top performers like Bear Valley Elementary and Butterfield Language Academy. This comparison shows that while Journey serves a community with high economic need, some schools with similar demographics, such as Bear Valley, achieve stronger academic outcomes, indicating room for targeted improvement in areas like science instruction and attendance.
