of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 19% of California elementary schools

Summary

Serrano Elementary serves 496 students in grades K–6 in Moreno Valley, California, among nearby schools in several districts. In 2025–2026, 28% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 24% in math and 20% in science. The most important takeaway is that math is a local strength but still falls well below the state result.

Compared with the six nearby schools in Moreno Valley Unified, Serrano ranked second in math and highest in science, but fourth in ELA. Across 10 nearby schools, it ranked about fourth in math and science and seventh in ELA. Its math proficiency was 4 percentage points above the district average but 14 points below the state; ELA was 7 points below the district and 21 below the state. Science was essentially even with the district, yet 16 points below the state. These comparisons show that local strengths do not mean Serrano is close to state results.

Over the four years of scores provided, ELA proficiency fell from 36% to 28%, while math rose from 22% to 24% and science from 14% to 20%; those gains did not close the statewide gaps. SchoolDigger ranked Serrano at the 19th percentile statewide in 2025–2026 and gave it 1 star; among nearby schools, five ranked higher and five lower. Its student–teacher ratio was 23.6 in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average of 23.2. Serrano reported 94% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with a 90% nearby average for schools with that same measure; this is context, not an explanation for results. SchoolDigger’s ranking of the school’s effectiveness for English Language Learner students was notably higher than its overall ranking in 2022–2023: the group was at the 64th statewide percentile versus 34th overall. In 2023–2024, the group’s ranking fell to the 34th percentile, still above the school’s overall 19th percentile.
