Summary:
This analysis examines six high-performing elementary schools (typically serving grades K-5) located in the 94583 zip code of San Ramon, California, all part of the highly-ranked San Ramon Valley Unified school district.
All six schools in this area are exceptional, each ranking in the top 11% of California elementary schools, with Bollinger Canyon Elementary standing out as the top performer, ranking 63rd statewide with the highest proficiency rates in English, Math, and Science. Neil A. Armstrong Elementary is another high achiever, particularly strong in math, while Country Club Elementary shows the most improvement in rankings and excels in science. The other schools—Twin Creeks Elementary, Montevideo Elementary, and Walt Disney Elementary—also perform well above state averages.
Key takeaways for parents include the consistent academic strength across the area, with student proficiency rates far exceeding state averages. There is notable variation in chronic absenteeism, with lower rates at schools like Bollinger Canyon and Walt Disney. An interesting finding is that higher per-student spending, as seen at Country Club Elementary, does not directly correlate with the highest academic rankings, suggesting other factors are at play. The data indicates a very low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch across all schools compared to typical state figures.
