ABC Virtual Academy

Summary:

ABC Virtual Academy is an elementary school located in Cerritos, CA that serves grades K-8, with 74 students enrolled. The school is part of the ABC Unified School District, which is ranked 414 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, ABC Virtual Academy's performance on standardized tests is mixed compared to the district and state averages. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates are generally lower, with 3rd and 6th grades being particular areas of weakness. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state, especially in 6th grade. Science proficiency is also lower at ABC Virtual Academy compared to the district and state. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.3%, which is significantly higher than the nearby Niemes (John H.) Elementary, Arturo Sanchez Elementary, and other physical schools in the district (9.8% to 21.4%).

The data suggests that the virtual learning model at ABC Virtual Academy may be less effective than the in-person learning at nearby schools, as evidenced by the performance gap. The high percentage of low-income students at ABC Virtual Academy (67.57%) and Juarez (Benito) Elementary (65.92%) indicates that these schools serve more disadvantaged populations, which may require additional resources and support. However, the close proximity of Juarez (Benito) Elementary to ABC Virtual Academy (0.02 miles) suggests potential for resource sharing or joint programs between the two schools, which could benefit the virtual academy.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
