Loma Vista Environmental Science Academy

Summary:

Loma Vista Environmental Science Academy is an elementary school in Vallejo, California that serves students from kindergarten to 8th grade. The school is part of the Vallejo City Unified School District, which is ranked 1358 out of 1568 districts in California and has a rating of 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Loma Vista Environmental Science Academy has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 55.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the Vallejo City Unified District. The school's test scores on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science exams are also consistently lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 17.58% of Loma Vista students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 25.33% for the district and 47.04% for the state. Loma Vista's student groups, such as female students, male students, African American students, and English Language Learners, all perform significantly worse than their peers across the state.

When comparing Loma Vista to other schools in the Vallejo City Unified District, it is clear that Loma Vista is one of the lowest-performing schools in the district. The nearby schools, such as Highland Elementary, Joseph H. Wardlaw Elementary, Johnston Cooper Elementary, Federal Terrace Elementary, and Dan Mini Elementary, all have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better student group performance than Loma Vista. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch at Loma Vista may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance, and there is a clear opportunity for the school to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
