Q: Is Santa Clarita Valley International a good school?

Santa Clarita Valley International ranks 2452 nd of 5862 California alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Santa Clarita Valley International is a public charter school located in Castaic, CA that serves grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 766 students. The school has a strong academic performance, with a 98.1% four-year graduation rate and a 1.9% dropout rate for the 2022-2023 school year, but also a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.2%.

Santa Clarita Valley International outperforms the state average in several key test score metrics, including 11th grade English Language Arts/Literacy, 5th grade English Language Arts/Literacy, and 5th grade Science. This strong academic performance sets the school apart from the nearby California Virtual Academy at Kings, iQ Academy California-Los Angeles, and other virtual charter schools, which have lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and lower test scores. However, the school's relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to the nearby virtual charter schools may indicate it is serving a more economically advantaged student population, which is an area the school should address to ensure equitable access and support for all students.

While Santa Clarita Valley International has a lower student-teacher ratio than the nearby virtual charter schools, its high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.2% is significantly higher than the state average of 16.1%. This is an area the school may want to investigate and address to ensure students are consistently attending and engaged. Overall, Santa Clarita Valley International appears to be a high-performing charter school, but the school should continue to monitor and address any equity concerns and chronic absenteeism issues to maintain its strong academic 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.
