Vista Condor Global Academy

Summary:

Vista Condor Global Academy is an elementary public charter school located in Santa Ana, California, serving 330 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Vista Condor Global Academy District, which is ranked 1531 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vista Condor Global Academy consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools, with low performance on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20.34% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 47.04%, and only 13.19% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 35.54%. The school's performance is particularly low for female, male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.4%, significantly higher than the state average.

Nearby schools, such as Abraham Lincoln Elementary, Monte Vista Elementary, and Romero-Cruz Academy, also perform poorly compared to state averages, but generally outperform Vista Condor Global Academy in academic metrics. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as the school's location in a high-need area, may contribute to the low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for the students at this school.

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.
