Summary

Live Oak Elementary is a K–5 school in San Ramon, California, serving 438 students in the San Ramon Valley area. It is part of San Ramon Valley Unified, which SchoolDigger rates 5 stars and places at the 94th percentile statewide. SchoolDigger also gives the school 5 stars and a 94th-percentile statewide standing. The clearest academic story is that math is a standout strength, while science has weakened substantially and is now the school’s softest subject.

Math is where Live Oak stands out locally: 80% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, 5 points above the district and 42 points above the state; the school ranked third among 11 nearby schools and scored 4 points above their average. ELA proficiency was 76%—27 points above the state, but 4 below the district and close to the nearby-school average. Science proficiency was 59%, still 24 points above the state but 7 below the district and 5 below nearby schools’ average; the school ranked eighth of 11. Fifth-grade ELA is a particular soft spot: its 75% proficiency was 5 points below the district.

Science has declined by 19 percentage points since 2022–2023, when Live Oak was 16 points above the district; it is now 7 points below. ELA and math also remain slightly below their 2022–2023 levels, despite rising from 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s current ranking is strong but below the school’s earlier highs: 94th percentile and rank 371 of 5,804 California schools, compared with a peak of 99th percentile. Its student-teacher ratio is the lowest among nearby schools at 19.3, versus a nearby average of 21.4. The school reported 9% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. One notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger places the school at the 75th percentile for effectiveness in serving Asian Students, below its 94th-percentile overall standing, though that subgroup ranking rose 19 points from the prior year.
