Q: Is California Virtual Academy @ Los Angeles a good school?

California Virtual Academy @ Los Angeles ranks 3973 rd of 5862 California alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

California Virtual Academy @ Los Angeles is a public charter virtual school located in Simi Valley, California, serving 5,407 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. While the school performs better than some of its virtual school counterparts in the area, it faces challenges in student outcomes, particularly in graduation rates, dropout rates, and academic achievement.

The school's four-year graduation rate of 76.4% in 2022-2023 is lower than the state average of 78.4%, and its dropout rate of 21.9% is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance on standardized tests, such as the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST, is generally lower than the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 11th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (56.79%) and Mathematics (25.87%) were below the state averages of 55.73% and 27.9%, respectively.

Interestingly, when compared to other virtual schools in the area, such as Insight @ San Diego and Insight @ San Joaquin, California Virtual Academy @ Los Angeles generally performs better in terms of graduation rates and academic achievement. However, the school's high percentage of students (73.74% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population, may contribute to its lower performance compared to the state averages. Additionally, the school's fluctuating student-teacher ratio, ranging from 28 students per teacher in 2022-2023 to 35.7 students per teacher in 2021-2022, may impact its ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students.

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.
