Summary

Valley Oak Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 509 students in Fresno, part of the highly-regarded Clovis Unified district, and it maintains a solid 4-star rating, performing better than about 78% of schools statewide.

The school is particularly strong in mathematics, where student scores outpace both the district and state averages, and it manages student attendance very effectively, with a chronic absenteeism rate lower than many neighbors like Pinedale Elementary and Mountain View Elementary. While surrounded by some exceptional schools such as James S. Fugman Elementary and Liberty Elementary, Valley Oak achieves its strong academic results efficiently, spending less per student than several nearby schools.

It's important for parents to know that while Valley Oak's overall performance is good, its statewide ranking has dipped in recent years, and test scores can vary significantly by grade, with fourth grade excelling in English while third grade faces more challenges. The school also shows some performance differences among different groups of students, indicating areas where support may be focused to ensure all children thrive.
