Summary:

California Virtual Academy @ San Joaquin is a public charter virtual school serving 2,561 students in grades K-12 in Simi Valley, California. While the school performs relatively well compared to other virtual schools in the area, it faces some challenges in terms of academic achievement and higher dropout rates.

The school's four-year graduation rate of 71.6% in 2022-2023 is lower than the nearby California Virtual Academy @ San Diego (80.2%) and California Virtual Academy San Mateo (76.5%), but higher than Insight @ San Joaquin (55.2%) and California Virtual Academy at Kings (67.6%). However, the school's dropout rate of 24.7% is higher than the state average and most of the nearby virtual schools, except for Insight @ San Joaquin (44.6%) and California Virtual Academy at Kings (29.4%).

Academically, California Virtual Academy @ San Joaquin's test scores are generally lower than the state averages and the nearby virtual schools, especially in mathematics. For example, in 11th grade math, the school had 29.75% proficiency compared to the state average of 27.9%. This may be due to the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (63.88%) and its relatively high student-teacher ratio of 28.5 in 2022-2023, which could impact the level of individual attention and support students receive. Despite these challenges, the school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years.

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.
