Summary

Valley Home Elementary is a public K-8 school in Valley Home, CA with 186 students. The school is part of the Valley Home Joint Elementary District, which is ranked 1053 out of 1565 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Valley Home Elementary faces several key challenges. The school has had high chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, ranging from 11.2% to 24.9%, significantly higher than the state average of 12-15%. Its test scores on state assessments are consistently lower than the California averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 32.54% of students were proficient or better in ELA and 31.75% in Math, compared to the state averages of 48.81% and 37.3% respectively. The school also struggles with achievement gaps, as its Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students rank in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools in ELA and Math.

When compared to nearby schools like Crossroads Elementary, Cloverland Elementary, and Sierra View Elementary, Valley Home Elementary generally underperforms. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting it is struggling to keep up with state-level performance improvements. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and a focus on equity will be crucial for improving the educational experience and outcomes for all students at Valley Home Elementary.
