Loma Vista Elementary

Summary:

Loma Vista Elementary is a public elementary school in Brentwood, California, serving 653 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Brentwood Union School District, which is ranked 421 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Loma Vista Elementary consistently outperforms the Brentwood Union district and the state of California in standardized test scores, with proficiency rates of 56.38% in English Language Arts and 52.35% in Math, compared to the district's 54.63% and 44.64%, and the state's 47.04% and 35.54%. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd grade ELA (56% proficient) and 3rd grade Math (60% proficient), significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's performance is relatively weaker among female students, Asian students, Hispanic students, and White students, with 3-star ratings in these subgroups. Additionally, Loma Vista Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 4.3% in 2016-2017 to 15.7% in 2022-2023, which may impact the school's overall academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, Loma Vista Elementary outperforms the other Brentwood Union district schools in academic performance, but is still below the top-performing school in the district, R. Paul Krey Elementary, which has consistently higher proficiency rates and a 4-star rating. The relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Loma Vista Elementary, at 19.14% in 2022-2023, suggests that the school serves a more affluent population compared to the nearby schools in the Brentwood Union district and the Antioch Unified district, which may contribute to the school's stronger academic performance.

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.
