Summary

Hidden Valley Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 468 students in the Santa Rosa Elementary district, standing out as a consistently high-performing school within its region.

The school excels academically, with student proficiency in English, math, and science significantly above both state and district averages. It performs notably better than many nearby schools, such as Steele Lane Elementary and the Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts. Hidden Valley is particularly strong in its support for special education students and has made impressive gains in reducing chronic absenteeism, bringing its rate well below the district average. While the school in the broader Santa Rosa Elementary district, which ranks lower statewide, Hidden Valley achieves these strong results with per-student spending that is efficient compared to some peers.

Performance is especially robust in the upper grades, and the school maintains competitive results with schools like Santa Rosa French-American Charter (SRFACS) and generally outperforms schools in the neighboring Rincon Valley Union Elementary district. However, the school community has seen an increase in economic need in recent years, and there are some performance gaps among specific student groups that the school is likely addressing. Overall, Hidden Valley Elementary demonstrates that effective programs and resource management can lead to outstanding and stable educational outcomes.
