Summary:
The Ocean View school district in California is home to three elementary schools: Tierra Vista Elementary, Mar Vista Elementary, and Laguna Vista Elementary. While the schools face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and low proficiency scores compared to state averages, the data reveals standout performance at certain schools and grade levels.
Laguna Vista Elementary emerges as the top performer, with the highest overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics at the end-of-course level, as well as the strongest 4th-grade proficiency rates. The school's lower student-teacher ratio of 20.4 may contribute to its relatively stronger academic performance. Mar Vista Elementary also stands out, with the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 25.3% and the highest 3rd-grade proficiency rates in both ELA and Math.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the Ocean View elementary schools and the state averages in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. Additionally, the high percentages of students eligible for free/reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.96% to 79.62%, suggest that the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, which can present additional challenges. Addressing attendance issues and identifying and replicating successful practices could be key focus areas for improvement across the district.
