Chino Valley Unified

The Chino Valley Unified School District in California serves 34 schools, including 22 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 7 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 520 out of 1,568 districts in the state and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as high-performing. Ruben S. Ayala High School is ranked 151 out of 2,323 California high schools and has a 97.6% four-year graduation rate, outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests. Canyon Hills Junior High and Country Springs Elementary are also highly ranked, with exceptional performance on English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments. Hidden Trails Elementary is another standout, consistently exceeding district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

However, the district also has some struggling schools, particularly its alternative and continuation high schools. Buena Vista Continuation High and Boys Republic High have very low graduation rates and proficiency on standardized tests. The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic factors, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance, with higher-poverty schools tending to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism.
