Summary:
Elementary schools in Spring Valley CCSD 99 consist of one school, John F Kennedy Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8 and enrolling 632 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades English language arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 43%, compared with 56% statewide, while mathematics proficiency was 19% versus 40% statewide. The most important concern is math: the school’s rate was 21 percentage points below the state’s.
With only one school listed, there is no school-to-school top or bottom; the strongest results are relative to the state. ELA proficiency was above state rates in grades 7 and 8: 68% versus 58% in grade 7, a 10-point advantage, and 67% versus 63% in grade 8, a 4-point advantage. By contrast, grade 4 ELA was 17% versus 56% statewide, a 38-point shortfall—the largest reported ELA gap. Math was below the state in each reported grade: by 12 points in grade 3, 18 points in grade 7, and 17 points in grade 8. Grade 4–6 math results are unavailable because the state suppressed them.
Results moved in different directions across subjects and grades. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, all-grades ELA rose 4 points, from 38% to 43%, while math fell 4 points, from 23% to 19%; the math gap with the state widened by 5 points. Grade 5 science improved 18 points, from 19% to 37%, while grade 8 science declined 3 points, from 47% to 44%. SchoolDigger’s latest state ranking was 1506 of 1737, in the 13th percentile with 1 star; the prior year it ranked 1408 of 2056, in the 32nd percentile with 2 stars. Context figures include a 12.8 student–teacher ratio and 61% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these describe the school but do not explain its results.
