Monte Vista Middle is a public middle school located in Camarillo, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 680 students. It is part of the Pleasant Valley School District, which is ranked 291 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past several years, Monte Vista Middle has consistently ranked in the middle range of California middle schools, typically between 900-1,050 out of around 2,700-2,800 schools. The school performs well for English Language Learners and Special Education students, ranking in the top 25% and top 30% of California middle schools, respectively. However, the school struggles with Hispanic and Low Socioeconomic Status students, ranking in the bottom 50% of schools for these groups. Monte Vista Middle's test scores on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science exams are generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics, with only 29.27% of students proficient or better in math compared to 49.28% in the Pleasant Valley district and 35.54% statewide.

When comparing Monte Vista Middle to other nearby middle schools, such as Las Colinas Middle, it generally performs at a lower level. The higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Monte Vista Middle compared to the district average suggests the school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to its lower academic performance. Additionally, the rising chronic absenteeism rate at Monte Vista Middle, from 6.9% in 2020-2021 to 18.9% in 2022-2023, is a concerning trend that could be impacting student learning and achievement.

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.
