What Parents Should Know

Abb's Valley-boissevain Elementary sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.
34% of students at Abb's Valley-boissevain Elementary were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
