Summary

Sierra View Elementary serves 428 students in grades K–5 in Chico Unified, in a community with several nearby elementary schools for comparison. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were above district and California averages in all three reported subjects, and its clearest advantage is mathematics: it led nearby same-district schools with 64% proficiency.

Math and ELA are Sierra View’s strongest results compared with local alternatives, while science is a relative weak spot. ELA proficiency was 65%, versus 55% in Chico Unified and 49% statewide; it ranked second among eight nearby same-district schools. Math was 64%, compared with 40% districtwide and 38% statewide, and was 23 percentage points above the nearby-school average of 41%. Science proficiency was 45%, above the district’s 43% and the state’s 36%, but fourth among the eight nearby schools; three scored higher.

Scores have dropped from their 2022–2023 levels: ELA and math each fell by 13 percentage points, and science by 19. After rising from 2023–2024 to 2024–2025 in all three subjects, scores declined in the latest year, most sharply in science. SchoolDigger rates the school at the 81st percentile with 4 stars; that is 10 percentile points below the prior year, though second among the nearby schools. One group ranking stands out: SchoolDigger places White Students at the 51st percentile, down from 79 the year before and well below the school’s overall ranking. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 17.7 in 2024–2025, below the nearby-school average of 19.5. In that same school year, 34% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the lowest rate among nearby same-district schools, whose average was 65%.
