Insight @ San Joaquin

Q: Is Insight @ San Joaquin a good school?

Insight @ San Joaquin ranks 1544 th of 2323 California alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Insight @ San Joaquin is a small, alternative public charter virtual school serving grades K-12 in Simi Valley, CA, with 188 students. The school has faced significant challenges, with a declining four-year graduation rate, a high dropout rate, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate.

Insight @ San Joaquin significantly underperforms the state average on standardized tests across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28.57% of 11th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 55.73%. In math, the proficiency rate for 11th graders was just 7.95%, compared to 27.9% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.51% to 63.28% over the past three school years, suggesting it serves a relatively disadvantaged student population. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio at Insight @ San Joaquin is quite high, ranging from 29.6 to 37.4 over the past three years, significantly higher than the ratios at many of the nearby virtual schools.

When comparing Insight @ San Joaquin to other virtual schools in the area, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming its peers on several key metrics. For example, the four-year graduation rate at Insight @ San Joaquin (55.2%) is significantly lower than the rates at California Virtual Academy @ Los Angeles (76.4%), California Virtual Academy @ San Diego (80.2%), and iQ Academy California-Los Angeles (81.6%). The high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates at Insight @ San Joaquin are also concerning and suggest the school may be struggling to engage and retain its students, which could be a contributing factor to the school's low test scores and graduation rates.

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.
