About Us / All Means All
CVUSD offers a wide range of programs designed to meet every student where they are. Our College & Career Pathways include Project Lead the Way, the Drama, Art and Design Academy, Health & Biotechnology, and Information & Communication Technology. Students are supported by counselors and social workers at every school level, and families are connected through programs like the Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE), School Smarts, and our school-home connection initiatives.
Academically, students can challenge themselves through Honors and Advanced Placement courses, dual enrollment, college articulated courses, AVID, Puente, and the Castro Valley Virtual Academy. Our Adult and Career Education Program extends learning beyond the traditional school day. Award-winning music, visual and performing arts, strong athletics, and robust after-school programs round out the student experience — supported by community partnerships with nonprofit and industry partners, and ongoing professional development for our staff.
District & School Recognition
The Castro Valley Unified School District is built on a strong foundation of parent support, community involvement, a dedicated staff, and quality instructional programs — with high expectations for student achievement grounded in clear district standards. As a result, our students consistently achieve among the highest in the state, and our schools and staff have earned recognition at the local, state, and national levels.
CVUSD has been designated a California Exemplary District — one of only 22 districts statewide to receive this honor. Castro Valley has also been recognized as one of only five "Bay Area Sweet Spots" for its combination of outstanding schools and strong community.
At the school level, our campuses have earned a wide range of prestigious designations. Creekside Middle School was named a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education Patch — the nation's highest honor for individual schools. Canyon Middle School has been re-designated to the California Schools to Watch List, one of only 20 schools in the state to receive this recognition. Independent and Proctor Elementary Schools received the 2018 California Distinguished School Award, and Castro Valley Elementary, Marshall, and Palomares Elementary Schools were designated 2016 Gold Ribbon Schools. Castro Valley Elementary and Marshall Elementary also received 2016 Title I Academic Achievement Awards. Redwood High School holds the designation of a California Model Continuation School, and the Castro Valley Adult and Career Education Center received a six-year WASC accreditation in 2016.
