Summary:
The San Lorenzo Valley Unified School District in California is home to two high-performing elementary schools: San Lorenzo Valley Elementary and Boulder Creek Elementary. Both schools have consistently ranked in the top 30-40% of California elementary schools over the past three years, demonstrating strong academic achievement.
San Lorenzo Valley Elementary has maintained an even stronger performance, ranking in the top 30% of California elementary schools in 2023-2024 with 52.01% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, outpacing the district and state averages. Boulder Creek Elementary has also demonstrated impressive results, with 48.28% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, still exceeding the district and state benchmarks.
While both schools have shown strong academic performance, there are some notable differences between them. San Lorenzo Valley Elementary serves a relatively more affluent student population, with a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Boulder Creek Elementary. Additionally, Boulder Creek Elementary has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, an area that warrants further investigation and potential collaboration within the San Lorenzo Valley Unified district to address this concern.
