Elementary Schools in Central Valley School District

Summary:

The Central Valley School District contains 16 elementary schools serving grades from K-5 to K-8, representing a wide range of performance and student demographics within this above-average rated district.

When comparing schools, Sunrise Elementary stands out as the top performer, leading in math and ranking in the state's top 15%, while Chester Elementary shows remarkable consistency with strong science scores. A notable success story is McDonald Elementary School, which made a dramatic one-year improvement to achieve the district's highest English proficiency rate. On the other end, Progress Elementary School faces significant challenges, with the lowest test scores and a one-star rating.

Key takeaways for parents include a pronounced drop in 5th-grade math scores across nearly every school, suggesting a common academic hurdle. Interestingly, higher per-student spending does not guarantee better outcomes, as seen at Liberty Lake Elementary, which excels despite having the lowest spending and highest class sizes. The district's Central Valley Virtual Learning program presents a mixed profile, excelling in science but struggling with math, highlighting the unique nature of online education.
