Summary

Gregory Gardens Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 409 students in Pleasant Hill, California, as part of the Mt. Diablo Unified district, representing a mid-tier option within a district of varied school profiles.

Academically, the school performs around the middle of California schools, with its current ranking showing a notable drop from the previous year, a pattern of volatility seen in its history. Its proficiency rates in English and Science are below district and state averages, though Math is slightly above the state average; science is a particular area for improvement. The school demonstrates a significant strength in its special education program, which ranks exceptionally high statewide. Compared to nearby schools like higher-performing Sequoia Elementary or Valhalla Elementary, Gregory Gardens has a higher percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, and its academic results are generally in line with what might be expected given this economic profile, unlike some schools that notably outperform or underperform relative to their demographics.

Other important findings include a consistent gender performance gap favoring female students, a surprisingly low ranking for its Asian student subgroup, and a chronic absenteeism rate that, while improved since the pandemic, is higher than some top local schools but better than many others like Meadow Homes Elementary. The school operates with relatively low per-student spending compared to peers such as Pleasant Hill Elementary, suggesting reasonable efficiency. Parents should note the school's year-to-year ranking fluctuations and examine grade-level performance patterns, which show some uneven progress between grades.
