Elementary Schools in Royal Valley

Summary:

There is only one elementary school in the Royal Valley area - Royal Valley Elementary. This public school serves grades PK-4 and has a total enrollment of 383 students. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 349 out of 660 schools in 2022-2023 to 455 out of 656 schools in 2024-2025, it maintains a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Royal Valley Elementary's performance is below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 42.73% in ELA and 34.67% in Math, compared to the state averages of 44.47% and 38.73%, respectively. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% for the 2024-2025 school year, which may be contributing to the lower academic outcomes.

Despite the school's challenges, it is investing resources in its students, with a relatively high per-student spending of $10,974 for the 2018-2019 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 14.1 for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 55.35% in 2023-2024, suggests that the school may be serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which could be a factor in the lower academic performance.
