Tierra Vista Elementary

Summary:

Tierra Vista Elementary is a public elementary school located in Oxnard, California, serving 565 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Ocean View School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tierra Vista Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has risen from 8.7% in 2018-2019 to 42.4% in 2021-2022, much higher than the state average of 14.3%. Academically, Tierra Vista consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools, with only 24.43% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 14.61% proficient or better in Science, compared to state averages of 47.04% and 30.7%, respectively. In contrast, nearby schools like Lemonwood Elementary and Mar Vista Elementary have lower chronic absenteeism rates and better academic performance.

However, Tierra Vista Elementary's strong performance with its English Language Learner population, ranking in the top 25% of California elementary schools for this subgroup, suggests that the school may have effective strategies and resources in place to support this group of students. By addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions, Tierra Vista Elementary may be able to raise academic achievement and better serve its community.

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.
