Summary

Silva Valley Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving 416 students in the El Dorado Hills community, operating within the top-performing Buckeye Union Elementary district.

The school consistently earns top academic marks, ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide, with over 73% of students proficient in math and 76% in English Language Arts. A standout feature is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.9%, which is far below the state average and indicates a strong, engaged school community. The school is also notably effective in supporting its special education students, ranking in the 97th percentile for that subgroup. Silva Valley achieves these excellent results while operating very efficiently, spending significantly less per student than many neighboring schools in other districts.

When compared to nearby schools, Silva Valley Elementary holds its own. It outperforms close neighbors like William Brooks Elementary in core subjects and maintains lower absenteeism than Oak Meadow Elementary. While some schools in the Folsom-Cordova Unified district, such as Russell Ranch Elementary or Empire Oaks Elementary, may have slightly higher proficiency rates, they do so with nearly double or triple the per-student spending. This combination of high achievement, exceptional student attendance, and operational efficiency makes Silva Valley a compelling choice for families.
