About Chino Valley Unified

Chino Valley Unified serves 25,513 students across 34 schools in California's Inland Empire. The district covers elementary through high school, giving families a single system to grow with from kindergarten through graduation. With campuses spread across the Chino Valley area, parents have genuine options — and genuine differences to weigh when picking a school.

Across all 34 ranked schools, Chino Valley Unified averages 7.1 out of 10. That's a reasonable baseline, but the more useful signal is the spread between the district's average and its top performers. Several schools score nearly two full points above that 7.1 mark, which means where you land inside the district's attendance boundaries carries real academic consequences.

Woodcrest Junior High leads the district with a 9.1 out of 10 — the highest score among all 34 ranked schools and a standout result for a middle school. Families with younger children have strong elementary options as well. Country Springs Elementary scores 8.9, Hidden Trails Elementary scores 8.8, and both sit nearly two points above the district average. Butterfield Ranch Elementary (8.7) and Lyle S. Briggs Fundamental (8.6) round out the top tier. All four top elementary campuses cluster within 0.3 points of each other, suggesting the district's elementary-level quality is broad and distributed, not concentrated on a single campus.

The practical takeaway for parents: Chino Valley Unified's ceiling is high and its strongest schools are not outliers. Five campuses score 8.6 or above, and four of those serve elementary-aged students — a meaningful pipeline advantage for families starting early. Pull attendance boundary maps before committing to a neighborhood. In a district where scores range from a 7.1 average to a 9.1 peak, your home address determines significantly more than your morning commute.
