Summary

Valley Vista Elementary in Bonita, California, serves 513 students in grades K–6 and sits among 10 nearby schools used for comparison. Its results are mixed, but the most important finding for families is that math is a persistent weakness: 31% of students met proficiency overall, 7 percentage points below the state and 14 below the district.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject: 51% met proficiency, compared with 47% at nearby schools and 49% statewide, though the result was 4 points below the district. Grade 4 ELA stands out at 60%, while grade 3 math was 29% and grade 5 math just 17%; both were well below state and district results. Science proficiency was 32%, close to the nearby average of 31%. Attendance is a clear positive: chronic absenteeism was 6% in 2025–26, the lowest among nearby schools and below the district’s 11% and state’s 18%.

Results have improved over time, but unevenly: math rose 9 percentage points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while ELA gained 15 points over that period but fell from 58% in 2024–25 to 51%. Science dropped 13 points in the latest year, to 32%. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 53rd statewide percentile with 3 stars, down 9 percentile points from the prior year and in the middle of the nearby group. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 22.3, and 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, below the nearby average of 67%; California’s statewide free-meals policy is relevant context, but the reported measure remains free/reduced lunch eligibility. SchoolDigger’s Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking fell to the 29th percentile in 2025–26 from the 61st the year before, a notable relative concern. By contrast, its Special Education Students ranking was at the 73rd percentile, 20 points above the school’s overall percentile.
