Summary

Valley Home Elementary serves 191 students in grades K–8 in Valley Home, California, and is the smallest school in the nearby-school comparison. Its all-grades proficiency results in 2025–26 were below the state in English language arts (ELA), math and science, and the district’s reported scores matched the school’s in every subject. The most urgent concern is science: 11% of students were proficient, compared with 36% statewide and a 32% average at nearby schools, and the result was lower than at all 10 nearby schools.

Math is the school’s strongest subject relative to comparison schools, but it is not above average: 33% were proficient, versus 38% statewide and 40% across nearby schools. ELA proficiency was 31%, compared with 49% statewide and 46% nearby; science was 11%, versus 36% statewide and 32% nearby. A grade-level bright spot is third grade, where 59% were proficient in ELA—the second-highest result among the school and nearby schools—and 55% in math, above the state’s 47%. Results were much weaker in fifth grade: 6% were proficient in math, 31 points below the state, and 29% in ELA, 20 points below. The district comparison is not a separate benchmark because its reported scores match the school’s.

Science proficiency fell from 28% in 2022–23 to 11% in 2025–26, while the gap with the state widened by 23 points. ELA fell from 35% to 31%, and its state gap widened from 12 to 18 points; math rose from 30% to 33%, though its state gap widened by 1 point. Meanwhile, SchoolDigger’s overall ranking improved from the 31st to the 37th percentile, but the school remained a 2-star school. SchoolDigger’s 2023–24 subgroup rankings varied: the school ranked at the 3rd percentile for Hispanic Students, compared with the 34th overall, while its White Students ranking rose from the 15th percentile in 2023–24 to the 39th in 2025–26. In 2024–25, 34% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the lowest share among nearby schools; the student-teacher ratio was 21.2, below the nearby-school average of 22.48.
