The strongest area-wide signal is that every reported grade-level test result is above the state result for that grade: the school advantages range from 24 to 44 percentage points, and Valley’s science result is 34 points above the state.
Hermosa Vista leads the reported all-grades mathematics results, with 84% proficient versus 72% at Hermosa Valley Elementary, a 12-point difference. Their ELA results are nearly tied at 79% each. Valley also stands out in science, with 70% proficient compared with 36% statewide.
