Summary

Junction K-8 serves 801 students in grades K–8 in Livermore, California, and has the largest enrollment among the 11 nearby schools compared. Its 2025–2026 results were below the state and district in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, and below every nearby school in all-grade ELA and math. The most important finding is that Junction’s academic results remain low across subjects, with math showing the largest gaps.

Math is Junction’s weakest area relative to the state, district, and nearby schools: 28% of students met proficiency expectations, compared with 38% statewide, 52% in the Livermore Valley Joint Unified district, and a 61% nearby-school average. ELA proficiency was 42%, versus 49% statewide, 61% in the district, and 62% at nearby schools. Science is the closest to the state result: Junction reached 32%, compared with 36% statewide, though it was still below the district’s 47% and nearby schools’ 49% average. Junction ranked last among the 11 schools in all-grade ELA and math, and second-lowest in science. Grade-level comparisons also show low results in grades 3–5, so the all-grade gaps are not just a reflection of Junction serving more grades than most nearby schools.

Results have improved since 2023–2024: ELA rose 10 percentage points to 42%, math rose 8 points to 28%, and science rose 7 points to 32%, although science dipped slightly in the latest year. SchoolDigger places Junction at the 42nd statewide percentile with 2 stars, the lowest standing among these nearby schools; its percentile has risen from 27. In 2024–2025, 43% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. The student-teacher ratio was 20.7, within the local range. Chronic absenteeism was 15% in 2025–2026—below the state’s 18%, but higher than nine of 10 nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well Junction serves Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 11th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 42nd percentile; its Special Education Students ranking stood out in 2023–2024 at the 62nd percentile, versus an overall 27th percentile that year.
