Summary:
94030 has three K–5 elementary schools in Millbrae: Spring Valley Elementary, Meadows Elementary and Green Hills Elementary. Because all serve the same grades, their all-grades results are directly comparable. In 2025–2026, all three exceeded California’s proficiency rates in ELA, math and science: school results ranged from 67% to 75% in ELA, 69% to 76% in math and 57% to 60% in science, while state results were 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. The central takeaway is that every school was well above the state in all three reported subjects.
Green Hills leads in all-grades ELA and math, with 75% proficient in each; it is 8 percentage points above the lowest ELA result and 6 points above the lowest math result. Meadows is second in both subjects, at 74% in ELA and 75% in math. Spring Valley is lowest in ELA (67%) and math (69%), but leads science at 60%, virtually tied with Green Hills at 60%; Meadows is at 57%. Grade-level results add nuance: Meadows leads third-grade ELA and fourth-grade math, while Green Hills leads fourth- and fifth-grade ELA and third- and fifth-grade math.
Recent trends are mixed: Meadows improved in all three subjects, including a 9-point science gain; Spring Valley’s science rose 8 points, while its ELA fell 3; and Green Hills’ ELA and math fell 6 and 5 points, even as science rose 3. Across the schools, average ELA and math results declined, while science improved.
