Summary

Spring Valley Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-5 public school serving 375 students in the Millbrae Elementary district, maintaining strong academic results and exceptional student attendance in a competitive area surrounded by top schools from neighboring districts.

The school stands out for its remarkable efficiency and stability, achieving excellent outcomes with moderate per-student spending and a higher student-teacher ratio than many peers. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 7.2% is less than half the state average and a key strength, correlating with solid academic performance that is consistently above state averages in English, Math, and Science. While its overall statewide ranking is in the 87th percentile, slightly below some elite neighbors like Franklin Elementary (98th percentile) in the Burlingame Elementary district, it performs comparably to others like Roosevelt Elementary and is a top performer within its own district alongside Green Hills Elementary.

Notably, there is a significant performance gap within the Millbrae Elementary district, with Lomita Park Elementary ranking much lower despite higher per-student spending, highlighting Spring Valley's effective model. The school shows interesting grade-level performance patterns, with a dip in 4th-grade math that warrants attention, and its historical ranking has seen a gradual decline from the mid-90s percentiles a decade ago. Overall, Spring Valley represents a strong, reliable educational choice that successfully serves its community and holds its own against schools in higher-ranked districts.
