Alpine Vista

Summary:

Alpine Vista is an elementary school located in Tulare, CA, serving 625 students in grades K-4. It is part of the Tulare City School District, which is ranked 1258 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Alpine Vista's test scores are generally higher than the Tulare City district average, they are lower than the state average across most grade levels and subjects. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were around 38-40% in 2023-2024, compared to 30-32% for the Tulare City district and 43-47% statewide. Alpine Vista's performance is particularly strong in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts, but the school struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates below 40% across all grade levels. Additionally, Alpine Vista has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.1% in 2018-2019 to 30.1% in 2021-2022, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.

Compared to nearby schools, Alpine Vista generally outperforms the other Tulare City elementary schools in test scores, but lags behind the higher-performing Sundale Elementary, which is in a different district. The nearby schools with the highest percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as Maple, Roosevelt, Frank Kohn, and Cypress, also have the lowest test scores, suggesting a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. The significant performance gaps between Alpine Vista's subgroups, particularly for White and Low Socioeconomic Status students, indicate potential equity issues that the school and Tulare City School District should address.

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.
