Summary

Valle Verde Elementary is a high-performing K-5 public school serving 485 students in Walnut Creek, California, as part of the Mt. Diablo Unified School District.

The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, recently placing in the 93rd percentile, with exceptional academic results: over 80% of students are proficient in math and about 70% are proficient in English and science, far exceeding district and state averages. A standout feature is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.1%, which is less than a quarter of the district average and suggests a strong, engaged school community. This performance is consistent across different student groups, and the school has maintained this high level of excellence for many years.

Valle Verde's success is particularly notable when compared to other schools in the Mt. Diablo Unified district, where performance varies widely. While nearby schools like Meadow Homes Elementary and Cambridge Elementary rank much lower, Valle Verde competes closely with high-performing schools from neighboring districts, such as Walnut Acres Elementary. Interestingly, the school achieves these results with moderate per-student spending, indicating that factors like effective teaching, a positive school culture, and a particular strength in mathematics instruction are key drivers of its outstanding outcomes.
