Summary

Valencia Park Elementary is a K–6 school in Fullerton, California, with 398 students. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were below both state and Fullerton Elementary averages in all three tested subjects, and its science result was lower than that of every nearby school.

Math was closest to the state average, while ELA was closest to the district and nearby-school averages; science was the clearest weakness. The school’s proficiency rates were 33% in ELA, 24% in math and 14% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%, and district rates of 59%, 52% and 42%. Across ten nearby schools, average rates were 46% in ELA, 40% in math and 34% in science, leaving Valencia Park 14, 16 and 20 percentage points below those averages. Results also differ by grade: third-grade ELA proficiency was 16%, versus 41% in fourth grade; third grade was 28 points below the state rate. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 24th statewide percentile and 1 star in 2025–26, the third-lowest percentile among the 11 schools compared.

Scores have improved since 2022–23, but the gains have not closed the gaps. ELA rose 5 percentage points, math 4 points and science 2 points; meanwhile, the science gap to the state widened by 4 points, and the 2025–26 science result was lower than the previous year’s. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile rose from the 17th in 2023–24 to the 24th in 2025–26, but remains well below its 51st-percentile result in 2015–16. Contextually, the student–teacher ratio was 30.6:1 in 2024–25, the highest among the nearby schools, and 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the third-highest nearby figure. SchoolDigger’s 2023–24 ranking for English Language Learner Students was notably stronger than its overall ranking: 59th percentile versus 17th, suggesting stronger relative standing for how the school serves that group.
