Diablo Vista Elementary

Summary:

Diablo Vista Elementary is a public elementary school in Antioch, California, serving 470 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Antioch Unified School District, which is ranked 1374 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Diablo Vista Elementary consistently outperforms the Antioch Unified School District and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. However, the school faces some challenges, including a higher chronic absenteeism rate and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools like Almond Grove Elementary and Ron Nunn Elementary, which are part of the Brentwood Union School District. The relatively high student-teacher ratio at Diablo Vista Elementary may also contribute to the challenges the school faces in improving student outcomes.

The data suggests that Diablo Vista Elementary faces unique challenges in serving its student population, which may require targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes. While the school's performance in core academic subjects is better than the Antioch Unified School District, it still lags behind the state average, indicating that there is room for improvement. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students could be crucial for Diablo Vista Elementary to provide a better educational experience for its students.

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.
