Summary

Leo R. Croce Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 537 students in the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, maintaining a solid 4-star rating and ranking above average statewide.

The school has distinct academic strengths, particularly in math and science where it outperforms both district and state averages, and it demonstrates exceptional effectiveness in supporting its special education students. However, it faces a notable challenge in English Language Arts (ELA), where student proficiency lags behind the district average, and attendance has been more volatile than at neighboring schools like Sunset Elementary or Emma C. Smith Elementary.

With the highest per-student spending in the local area and moderate class sizes, Leo R. Croce's resources are a significant asset. Its profile is unique compared to nearby schools; for instance, while it spends more per student than the closely located Altamont Creek Elementary, it has a different pattern of academic performance. The school's clear successes in specific areas provide a strong foundation, while the gaps in ELA and attendance highlight key opportunities for focused improvement.
