Summary

Los Perales Elementary is a K–5 school with 366 students in Moraga, in the Moraga Elementary District. Its results are above California’s in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science, but below the district and the average of nearby K–5 schools with scores. The most important concern is that third grade—especially ELA—stands out as a weakness both within the school and compared with nearby schools.

The school’s strongest local comparison is math, while ELA is its weakest: in 2025–26, proficiency was 73% in math, 71% in ELA, and 61% in science. Those results were 34, 22, and 25 percentage points above the state, respectively, but 1, 11, and 8 points below the district. Compared with nearby K–5 schools, Los Perales was below the average by 6 points in math, 9 in ELA, and 5 in science. Third-grade results were 53% in ELA and 62% in math; third-grade ELA was lower than every nearby peer with data. By contrast, fourth-grade ELA and math were 78% and 77%, showing a substantial within-school gap.

Scores have declined since 2022–23: ELA fell 9 points, math 6, and science 7 by 2025–26, while the school’s advantage over the state narrowed in all three subjects. SchoolDigger still ranks Los Perales at the 88th percentile statewide with 4 stars, but that is down from the 97th percentile and 5 stars in 2023–24; seven of eight nearby ranked K–5 schools currently rank higher. Context figures include a 2024–25 student-teacher ratio of 22.8 and 2.5% free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also point to notably lower results for White students (64th percentile, down from 96th in 2023–24) and Multi-racial students (57th percentile), compared with the school’s overall 88th percentile.
