Summary:
The ICEF Vista Elementary Academy is the sole elementary school in the ICEF Vista Elementary Academy District, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 293 students. While the school faces socioeconomic challenges with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, it has shown steady improvement in academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, and has a higher statewide ranking compared to previous years.
The school's Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally exceed the state averages, with standout performance in 3rd grade ELA and 4th grade Mathematics. However, the school struggles with lower proficiency rates in the California Science Test (CAST), suggesting a need to focus on strengthening its Science curriculum and instruction. The school's high student-teacher ratio of 26.6 to 1 may also impact the level of individual attention and support available to students.
Overall, ICEF Vista Elementary Academy appears to be a school with a mix of strengths and areas for improvement. While the school is making progress and outperforming the state averages in several areas, it still faces challenges in addressing the needs of its predominantly low-income student population and improving its performance in Mathematics and Science. The school's steadily improving statewide ranking, however, suggests that it is implementing effective strategies to enhance student learning and achievement.
