Summary

Valle Vista Elementary is a 204-student K–5 school in San Jose’s Mount Pleasant Elementary district. In 2025–2026, SchoolDigger placed it at the 26th percentile with 1 star. The clearest takeaway is that proficiency was below the state in all three reported subjects, but higher than the average at four nearby K–5 schools in every subject.

Math and science are relative strengths locally and compared with the district, while ELA is the clearest weakness. Valle Vista’s proficiency was 31% in math and 27% in science—about 8 points above district results in each, but 8 and 9 points below the state, respectively. ELA proficiency was 26%, 4 points below the district and 24 points below the state. Still, Valle Vista was ahead of the four-school K–5 peer average: 21% in ELA, 19% in math, and 13% in science, compared with Valle Vista’s 26%, 31%, and 27%. Those peers were Lyndale Elementary, Mt. Pleasant Elementary, Robert Sanders Elementary, and Thomas P. Ryan Elementary.

SchoolDigger’s overall ranking has dropped from the 60th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 26th percentile in 2025–2026, even as chronic absenteeism fell from 42% in 2022–2023 to 18% in 2025–2026. The latest absenteeism rate, 18.2%, was close to the state’s 18.3% and above the district’s 17.2%. Valle Vista had a student-teacher ratio of 25.5 in 2024–2025; that year, 66% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings show sharply different results: English Language Learner Students ranked at the 92nd percentile in 2023–2024, versus 36th overall, indicating a notably stronger measure of how well the school serves that group; Hispanic Students ranked at the 7th percentile in 2025–2026, versus 26th overall, a notably lower standing. With 204 students, school percentages may shift noticeably as the number of students tested changes.
