Valle Verde Elementary School is a highly ranked public school in Walnut Creek, CA. With a student-teacher ratio of 24 to 1, it has 472 students in grades K-5. 60 percent of students are at least proficient in math and 68 per cent in reading, according to state test scores.

Instead of presenting new ideas to a child through homework, teachers use homework to solidify concepts learned in the classroom. The homework often seems based, rather than just mindless repetition, on concepts.

The school still stresses character qualities and openly recognizes those traits. Character-building is certainly a tenant of this school and differentiates the way many kids behave themselves.

The school regularly sends encouraging messages to the students about the student body’s proper actions and everyone’s inclusion.

They provide a healthy, enjoyable and nurturing atmosphere for your child to explore many fields, including art, music, sports, science, cooking and computers. For homework, we also have a quiet environment.

For children in TK/Kindergarten through 5th grade, we have both full and part-time slots open. From 7 AM-6 PM, Monday-Friday, we are available. During winter break, spring break, and some holidays, we are open as well. On big holidays, we are locked. (For more information, see our Overview of Events.) They also have an amazing full-day summer program. All of our tuition, as a non-profit company, goes to fund their fantastic program.

Educational norms define what students in each grade should know and be able to do in each subject. The State Board of Education in California agrees on the norms for all students, from kindergarten through high school. The Department of Education of California helps schools ensure the expectations are met by all students.

Since 2010, a number of states around the country have adopted the same standards for English and math. These norms are referred to as Common Core State Values (CCSS). Even if they change schools or transfer to a new state, getting the same requirements helps all students get a good education. The CCSS was developed by teachers, parents, and education experts to prepare students for college and workplace success.
