It is part of the Coachella Valley Unified School District, which is ranked 1317 out of 1565 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Valle del Sol Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years.

Valle del Sol Elementary students consistently underperform compared to the district and state on standardized tests, with only 39.78% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 29.92% proficient in Math in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 44.4% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

However, some schools like Peter Pendleton Elementary and Valley View Elementary perform slightly better, suggesting there may be opportunities to learn from their practices.
