School Overview

Tucked into the heart of South Lake Tahoe, Tahoe Valley Elementary offers families a small-mountain-town school experience where kids grow up with the Sierra Nevada as their backyard. Scores sit near the middle of the pack statewide, but the tight-knit community feel and the unique lifestyle that comes with living in a resort town — think skiing in winter and hiking in summer — make this a natural fit for families who value outdoor living as part of their children's education. It's the kind of place where teachers know their students by name and the surrounding landscape feels like an extension of the classroom.
