Summary

Neil A. Armstrong Elementary is a top-tier K-5 public school serving 465 students in the highly-regarded San Ramon Valley Unified district, consistently ranking in the top 7% of all California elementary schools with a notable recent jump to 160th statewide.

The school demonstrates exceptional academic strength, particularly in mathematics where 84.8% of students are proficient, and shows remarkable consistency and upward momentum compared to some nearby schools. It stands out for its exceptional support systems, ranking in the 97th percentile statewide for students in Special Education and the 98th percentile for male students. Furthermore, the school fosters a strong learning environment with a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.4%, which is strongly correlated with academic success.

When compared to neighbors, Bollinger Canyon Elementary is a close peer with a slightly higher overall rank and stronger science scores, but Armstrong shows greater year-to-year consistency and historical strength with specific student groups. All schools in the San Ramon Valley Unified district, including Quail Run Elementary, outperform those in the neighboring Dublin Unified district, highlighting the advantage of the district itself. The school's investment per student is meaningful, but outcomes here, as with nearby schools like Bella Vista Elementary, depend more on teaching quality and community than spending alone.
