Loma Vista Elementary

Summary:

Loma Vista Elementary is a public elementary school in Ventura, California, serving 392 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Ventura Unified School District, which is ranked 652 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Loma Vista Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores, with 62.05% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to 46.79% and 36.74% for the district, respectively. The school's performance in science is also significantly higher than the district and state. Loma Vista Elementary's strong academic achievement extends across different student subgroups, including female, male, Hispanic, and students with special education needs. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 4.3% in 2018-2019 to 26.4% in 2021-2022, which warrants further investigation.

Compared to nearby schools, Loma Vista Elementary outperforms most in academic achievement and student group performance, though some schools, such as Mound Elementary, perform at a similar or even higher level in certain subject areas and grade levels. Loma Vista Elementary also has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (33.67%) compared to some nearby schools, suggesting it may serve a more affluent student population, which could contribute to its strong academic success. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 20.5 to 22.4, may be a factor in its academic performance.

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.
