Summary

Great Valley Elementary is a K–8 school serving 983 students in Stockton, in the Manteca Unified district. In 2025–26, it ranked ahead of most nearby schools, but its SchoolDigger statewide standing was at the 19th percentile, with one star. Its strongest local position does not mean students are close to state proficiency: results were below the state in ELA, math, and science.

Great Valley was second among 10 nearby schools in ELA and math, and second in science, just behind San Joaquin Elementary. Its proficiency was 35% in ELA, 22% in math, and 21% in science—about 12, 6, and 8 percentage points above nearby-school averages. However, it trailed state results of 49%, 38%, and 36% by 15, 16, and 15 points, respectively, and was slightly below district results in all three subjects. Grade 8 was a relative bright spot, with the school’s strongest grade-level results in each subject; fifth-grade math was weaker at 13%, compared with 20% districtwide and 37% statewide.

Results rebounded in 2025–26 after a dip the year before: ELA rose 9 points, while math and science each increased by about 5 points from 2024–25. Across the full four-year period, however, the school’s gaps to state proficiency widened in math and science. Its SchoolDigger standing rose from the 13th percentile in 2024–25 to the 19th, still below its 21st-percentile standing in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for African American students was notably higher than the overall ranking in 2025–26: the group ranked at the 39th percentile versus 19th overall. In 2024–25, 71% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the student-teacher ratio was 24.5, around the middle of nearby schools.
