Summary
In Moreno Valley, California, Chaparral Hills Elementary is a K–5 school in Moreno Valley Unified serving 547 students. Its most important challenge is that 2025–2026 proficiency was below state levels in English, math, and science, with English results particularly weak among nearby schools: 25% of students were proficient, compared with a nearby-school average of 35%.
Math is the school’s relative strength, but mainly against the district: 21% were proficient, about 1 percentage point above the district and 17 points below the state. The result was higher than 3 of 10 nearby schools and below the other 7. ELA proficiency was below all 10 nearby schools, as well as 10 points below the district and 24 points below the state. Science proficiency was 12%, lower than 9 of 10 nearby schools and 24 points below the state. Grade-level results show why the all-grades math figure can be misleading: third-grade math was 44%, above the district’s 33% and close to the state’s 47%, while fourth- and fifth-grade math were 11% and 14%, respectively, the lowest among local schools with comparable data. Fourth-grade ELA was also a local low, at 18%.
Results have weakened since 2022–2023: proficiency fell by 8 points in ELA, 5 in math, and 3 in science, while state rates rose; the school’s gaps to the state are now largest in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranks the school in the 15th percentile statewide and gives it 1 star; nearby schools range from the 14th to the 61st percentile. Chronic absenteeism improved from 42% in 2021–2022 to 23% in 2025–2026, though the latest rate remains 5 points above the state. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 23.7, within the nearby range, and 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible—the second-highest nearby share; California is identified in the data as a statewide-free-meals state. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner Students ranking fell from the 68th percentile in 2022–2023, versus 33rd overall, to the 22nd percentile in 2023–2024, matching the overall ranking; no later subgroup result is supplied. For Special Education Students, the ranking was at the 7th percentile in 2024–2025 versus 26th overall, then at the 19th percentile in 2025–2026 versus 15th overall.
