of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 92% of California elementary schools

Summary

Bella Vista Elementary is a highly-rated K-5 public school serving 499 students in the sought-after San Ramon Valley Unified school district, consistently ranking in the top 10% of California elementary schools.

Academically, the school performs well above state averages, with particular strength in 4th grade, and has successfully reduced chronic absenteeism to 8.7%. However, a detailed look reveals it spends significantly more per student—over $27,000—than neighboring schools like Coyote Creek Elementary or Hidden Hills Elementary, which spend roughly $16,000-$17,000 and achieve similar or even higher test scores. This creates an interesting question about resource efficiency, though the higher spending may support specific programs or needs.

When compared to schools in the neighboring Dublin Unified district, such as Frederiksen Elementary, Bella Vista's academic results are stronger, highlighting the advantage of being in the San Ramon Valley district. Parents should note that performance can vary by grade level and student subgroup, and that even the closest school, Quail Run Elementary, shows different academic outcomes, proving that small geographic boundaries within the same district can matter.
