Summary

Green Valley Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 334 students in the well-regarded Rescue Union Elementary district, consistently earning a 4-star rating and performing above California state averages.

When compared to nearby schools like Lakeview Elementary and Jackson Elementary, Green Valley serves a student population with a higher level of economic need, which is a key differentiator in the area. While its test scores in English, math, and science are solid and exceed state averages, they are generally below the high marks set by its district peers and some neighboring schools in the Buckeye Union Elementary district. However, the school shows notable effectiveness in supporting its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide for that subgroup.

The school invests more per student than most local schools and maintains a manageable class size. Key areas for attention include a higher chronic absenteeism rate than neighboring schools and a significant drop in math proficiency between 4th and 5th grade. Despite these challenges within its local context, Green Valley has a decade-long record of stable, above-average statewide performance and benefits from being part of a strong district.
