Welcome to Progress Elementary!

Progress is truly an amazing place—built on the foundation of a professional, knowledgeable, and caring staff. At Progress, we strive to meet the needs of every student and family so that all may find success on their educational journey and beyond their Central Valley experience.

Our staff is dedicated to providing the highest quality educational experiences for every child. Students at Progress engage deeply with the curriculum and standards through meaningful learning opportunities that foster 21st-century skills and a love for learning.

We are a community devoted to nurturing the whole child. We believe that when students are encouraged to inquire, explore, and connect, they build strong relationships, achieve academic success, and develop lifelong skills.

At Progress, we value:

Community, Curiosity, Choice, Critical Thinking, Creativity, Communication, and Collaboration.

Together, these values shape who we are as Panthers—learners, thinkers, and compassionate members of our community.
