Summary

Arroyo Seco Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 584 students in the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, consistently performing above California state averages and earning a 4-star rating.

The school is a solid, middle-performing option within a district that has a wide range of school performance. It outperforms the state in English, Math, and especially Science, where its scores are notably strong. However, it lags behind several nearby higher-ranked schools in the district like Emma C. Smith Elementary, Lawrence Elementary, and Sunset Elementary in core reading and math scores. An interesting comparison is with the nearby Jackson Avenue Elementary, which achieves higher overall rankings with very similar student demographics and slightly less funding per student.

Arroyo Seco receives more funding per student than most comparable schools in the area, yet its academic results are in the middle tier for the district. The school shows significant strengths in supporting some student groups and in its science program, but its effectiveness for students from low-income families has shown concerning volatility in recent years. Chronic absenteeism is lower than the state average but sits in the middle range for the district, which aligns with the school's academic positioning.
