Summary

Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary is a K–5 school serving 639 students in Moreno Valley, in Val Verde Unified. Its clearest academic advantage is math and science compared with nearby schools: in 2025–2026, Bethune ranked second among 11 schools in both subjects, while remaining below California’s proficiency level in all three tested subjects.

Math and science are Bethune’s strongest subjects locally: proficiency was 30% in math and 28% in science, compared with nearby-school averages of 27% and 19%. Those results were 7 and 2 percentage points above the district, respectively, but 8 points below the state in each subject. ELA was weaker by comparison: 39% proficiency was 3 points below the district and 10 below the state, though 5 points above the nearby-school average; Bethune ranked third among nearby schools in ELA. Grade-level results show a particular bright spot in fifth-grade math: 33% proficiency was just below nearby leader Victoriano Elementary at 33%, while third-grade math was 19 points below the state and second-lowest among nearby schools.

Results have been uneven over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 3 percentage points, while math and science each fell about 1 point; compared with the previous year, ELA fell 7 points and math 4, while science rose 2. SchoolDigger ranked Bethune 3,553rd of 5,804 California schools, at the 39th percentile with 2 stars; its percentile fell from 49 the year before. Context includes a 19.7 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools with data, and 86% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings differ notably: African American Students ranked at the 78th percentile, compared with 39 overall, while Special Education Students ranked at the 17th percentile. These rankings indicate differing results in how the school serves those groups.
