Mojave Vista Elementary is a public elementary school in Victorville, California, serving 857 students in grades K-6. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mojave Vista Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (50.9% in 2021-2022, compared to the district average of 29.59% and the state average of 47.04%) and low academic performance. In 2023-2024, only 22.83% of Mojave Vista students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 29.59% in the Victor Elementary District and 47.04% statewide. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate at Mojave Vista was just 11.81%, compared to 21.44% in the district and 35.54% statewide. The school also struggles to support its diverse student population, with lower proficiency rates across subgroups like African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities.

Interestingly, the nearby West Palms Conservatory and Irwin Academy of Performing Arts, which are also part of the Victor Elementary District, generally outperform Mojave Vista Elementary in academic proficiency and other key metrics. Additionally, the nearby Mountain View Montessori Charter school significantly outperforms Mojave Vista and the district as a whole, suggesting that the Montessori approach may be a successful model for improving academic outcomes in the region.

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.
