Third-grade math was especially strong at 65%, and fifth graders exceeded district and state benchmarks in both English language arts and math. Compared with nearby schools, East Valley was nearly even with Moxee in math but trailed it in all three subjects; it substantially outperformed Terrace Heights Elementary in math and science. English language arts is the main academic weakness: the overall rate was 44.40%, below district and state levels, with fourth grade particularly low at 35.71%.

East Valley’s overall ranking has recovered from the 44th percentile in 2022–23 to the 55th percentile currently.
