Summary

Miwok Valley Elementary Charter serves 288 students in grades K–6 in Petaluma, in the Old Adobe Union district. The school’s results have improved recently, but the most important concern is that it remains below state and district results in ELA, math and science, and ranks second-lowest among eight nearby schools with results in each subject.

Math is Miwok’s strongest subject relative to the state: 30% of students met proficiency in 2025–26, 8 points below the state and 19 below the district. ELA proficiency was 32%, 17 points below the state and 22 below the district; science was 20%, 16 points below the state and 23 below the district. Compared with nearby schools, Miwok was second-lowest in all three subjects, with only McDowell Elementary lower. Sixth grade is a particular weak spot: math proficiency was 15%, the lowest among eight nearby schools with sixth-grade data, compared with 37% statewide and 47% in the district.

Math has made the clearest progress, rising from 14% proficiency in 2022–23 to 30% in 2025–26, while its gap to the state narrowed by 13 points. ELA rose from 26% to 32% over that period; science went from 17% to 20%, but its gap to the state widened by 3 points. SchoolDigger’s overall rating improved from 1 star and the 10th percentile in 2024–25 to 2 stars and the 31st percentile in 2025–26, though that remains the second-lowest current percentile among nearby schools with rankings. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students rose from 6 to 40, a notable improvement in its ranking for how well it serves that group. In 2024–25, Miwok’s student-teacher ratio was 20.5, below the nearby average of 23.5; 65% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby average of 44%.
