Delta Vista Middle

Summary:

Delta Vista Middle is a public middle school located in Oakley, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 910 students. The school is part of the Oakley Union Elementary School District, which is ranked 943 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Delta Vista Middle faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently low test scores, and uneven performance across different student subgroups. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have risen significantly, from 10.8% in 2017-2018 to 27.2% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. In academic performance, Delta Vista Middle consistently underperforms compared to the Oakley Union Elementary district and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, as well as the California Science Test (CAST). For example, in 2023-2024, only 34.09% of Delta Vista Middle students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to 38.83% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, with lower rankings for female, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students compared to their peers in the state.

When comparing Delta Vista Middle to other nearby middle schools, such as O'Hara Park Middle, which is in the same district, it becomes clear that Delta Vista Middle is underperforming. O'Hara Park Middle has higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Delta Vista Middle. Additionally, Delta Vista Middle's statewide ranking has steadily declined from 1,018 out of 2,259 California middle schools in 2011-2012 (3-star rating) to 1,925 out of 2,777 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating), suggesting that the school is struggling to keep up with the performance of other middle schools in the state. The significant performance gaps between different student subgroups at Delta Vista Middle indicate that the school may need to focus more on addressing equity and providing targeted support for these underperforming groups.

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.
