Summary

Montair Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 484 students in the affluent community of Danville, California, within the highly-regarded San Ramon Valley Unified School District.

Academically, Montair is a good school with solid test scores that are above state averages, but it ranks lowest among its ten district peers in English, math, and science proficiency. While the school spends more per student than nearly all nearby schools, this higher investment has not translated to higher academic performance compared to schools like John Baldwin Elementary or Bollinger Canyon Elementary. The school has also seen a gradual decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, which contrasts with the stable, elite rankings maintained by many of its neighbors.

Despite these academic comparisons, Montair excels in student engagement, boasting a very low chronic absenteeism rate that is better than the district average. The school's performance varies significantly across different grade levels and student groups, with some subgroups performing exceptionally well while others have shown recent declines. For parents, Montair offers a well-resourced environment with strong community attendance, but its academic results are noticeably different from other top-tier schools in the same high-performing district.
