Summary

Pine Valley Middle is a high-performing public school serving about 970 students in grades 6-8 within the esteemed San Ramon Valley Unified district, consistently ranking among the top 3% of all California middle schools.

The school demonstrates remarkable academic strength, with over 82% of students proficient in English and 73% in math, but it particularly excels in science, where its scores outpace the district average and many nearby schools like Charlotte Wood Middle.
