Sun Valley Elementary School is located in central San Rafael. Sun Valley serves grades TK-5, with typically three classes at each grade level, on a spacious campus with a close-knit community. We are proud that Sun Valley serves an increasingly ethnically and culturally diverse student population. In inclusive, safe and enriching environments that are ideal for young learners, students grow socially, emotionally and academically. The school's success is made possible thanks to its talented teachers and staff. A strong parent organization, a District foundation and many community partners provide enhanced experiences and additional enrichment and support programs.
Sun Valley is one of seven elementary schools in San Rafael City Schools, which also consists of a middle school, two comprehensive high schools and a continuation high school. Grounded in our vision for student success, we undertook an extensive journey with our community to develop our strategic plan - Together 2024. It describes our District values of equity, community and joy, as well as our culture, goals and strategic actions. The District's Graduate Profile articulates the skills needed to succeed in this rapidly changing world, and we committed to developing these skills so every student graduates ready to pursue their goals.
