Summary

Burns Valley is a K–6 elementary school in Clearlake, serving 568 students in the Konocti Unified district. In 2025–26, about 20% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 13% in math, and 18% in science. The main concern is that proficiency remains well below California’s results in every subject: the gaps are 29 percentage points in ELA, 25 in math, and 18 in science.

Burns Valley is close to district results in ELA and ahead in math and science, but its strongest relative result is science. Its proficiency was about 20% in ELA, matching the district, and 3 points above the district in math and 4 points above in science. Compared with the average for nearby same-district schools East Lake, Lower Lake Elementary, and Pomo, it was 3 points lower in ELA, 1 point lower in math, and 2 points higher in science. Results also vary by grade: fifth-grade ELA was a relative strength at 28%, while third-grade ELA was 14%.

Science has improved most over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, it rose 11 points, including a 12-point jump in the latest year. Math gained 5 points over that period, while ELA declined by about 1 point. SchoolDigger rated Burns Valley in the 6th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–26. Other context includes a 24.6 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25 and 82% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 44% in 2025–26, 25 points above the state rate, though down 14 points since 2021–22. One subgroup result stands out: SchoolDigger ranked how well the school served Homeless Students at the 20th percentile in 2024–25, compared with the school’s overall 5th percentile that year.
