San Jacinto Valley Academy

Summary:

San Jacinto Valley Academy is a public charter school serving 1,571 students in grades K-12 in San Jacinto, California. This sizable school has consistently maintained exceptional graduation rates, reaching 100% in the 2022-2023 school year, and low dropout rates of 0% in the same year, indicating strong support for students to complete their education.

One of the school's key strengths is its exceptional graduation and dropout rates, which far exceed state averages. In 11th grade English Language Arts (ELA), San Jacinto Valley Academy also outperforms the state average, with 60.2% of students proficient or better compared to 55.73% statewide. However, the school's ELA performance is below state averages in the lower grades, and its mathematics achievement lags behind the state at all grade levels, with only 13.27% of 11th graders proficient or better in math compared to 27.9% statewide. This suggests the school could benefit from a greater focus on improving mathematics instruction. Additionally, while San Jacinto Valley Academy's chronic absenteeism rate of 12.2% is better than the state average, it is still higher than some nearby high-performing schools like Temecula Preparatory (10.0%) and Santa Rosa Academy (10.9%), indicating room for improvement in this area.

Interestingly, several nearby schools, such as MethodSchools, Moreno Valley Online Academy, and Mission Vista Academy, are virtual or online programs. These schools tend to have lower test scores but higher graduation rates compared to San Jacinto Valley Academy, suggesting the in-person model at San Jacinto Valley Academy may be more effective for academic achievement, but the virtual schools are still able to support students to graduate. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rate at San Jacinto Valley Academy, combined with its relatively strong academic performance, suggests the school is effectively serving a disadvantaged student population, an important consideration when comparing its outcomes to wealthier nearby schools.

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.
