Cave Language Academy

Summary:

Cave Language Academy is an elementary school located in Vallejo, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 411 students. It is part of the Vallejo City Unified School District, which is ranked 1358 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cave Language Academy consistently outperforms the Vallejo City Unified School District and the state of California in standardized test scores across various grade levels and subjects. In the 2023-2024 school year, 44.44% of Cave Language Academy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 25.33% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, 38.46% of Cave Language Academy students were proficient or better, compared to 17.82% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school also performs exceptionally well in serving specific student groups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learner students, ranking in the top 30% and top 10% of California elementary schools, respectively, in these categories.

However, Cave Language Academy has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.5% in the 2020-2021 school year to 47.2% in the 2021-2022 school year, and 33.9% in the 2022-2023 school year. This concerning trend warrants further investigation and intervention. Despite this, Cave Language Academy outperforms the majority of nearby schools in the Vallejo City Unified School District, including Johnston Cooper Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Steffan Manor Elementary, in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. The nearby Vallejo Charter school, a public charter, performs comparably to Cave Language Academy in some areas, particularly in English Language Arts.

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.
