Round Valley Elementary: Most kids here clear the bar, year after year. The question is what happens after that.

Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
💪 Strong All-Around — Ask about what we don't score — class size, electives, the feel of a classroom — strong numbers everywhere on paper don't mean every classroom feels the same.
Most rating sites would stop at “64% proficient” and call it done. Round Valley deserves a closer read. It sits at the 82nd percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.

The 4 things our score weighs
Ask how the school challenges kids who clear the standard early. The gap between meeting and exceeding is where pacing shows.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
- Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
- Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
- Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Showing up, and staying in class
TK/K students miss school at roughly three times the rate of Grades 4–6 students (25.0% vs 4.8%). Chronic absence here concentrates in the earliest grades — worth asking how the school works with new families on attendance.
The people teaching here
Pay is set by the district, not the school.
What gets spent here
