Q: Is Vista Horizon Global Academy a good school?

Vista Horizon Global Academy ranks 3783 rd of 5862 California elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Vista Horizon Global Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 119 students in grades K-5 in Los Angeles, CA. The school is part of the Vista Horizon Global Academy District, which is ranked 1078 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vista Horizon Global Academy has consistently underperformed the state average on standardized assessments, with only 39.34% of students proficient or better in ELA and 16.67% proficient or better in science, compared to state averages of 47.04% and 32.68%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (79.83%) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 13.5%, which is higher than the state average. Nearby schools, such as Ambassador School-Global Education, Wilton Place Elementary, and Hoover Street Elementary, also struggle with low student performance, high rates of economic disadvantage, and high chronic absenteeism, though some, like Hoover Street Elementary, are able to achieve significantly higher academic outcomes despite serving a similar student population.

Vista Horizon Global Academy's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, with female students outperforming male students in ELA and Hispanic students and economically disadvantaged students consistently underperforming compared to their peers. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 2878 out of 5883 California elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 3783 out of 5862 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school is struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state. To address these challenges, the school may need to implement more effective strategies and interventions to support its diverse student population and improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
