Summary:

Linda Vista Elementary is a public elementary school in San Jose, California, serving around 450 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linda Vista Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (26.6% in 2022-2023), consistently lower test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to district and state averages, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (64.76% to 72.29% receive free or reduced-price lunch). The school's performance varies across different student groups, with English Language Learners performing better than other subgroups. Nearby schools like Summerdale Elementary and Noble Elementary, which are part of the Berryessa Union Elementary School District, significantly outperform Linda Vista Elementary and the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District as a whole.

To address these challenges, Linda Vista Elementary could focus on improving student engagement and attendance, implementing targeted support for struggling students in core academic areas, and exploring best practices from higher-performing nearby schools. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and improving instructional practices could be crucial for enhancing the educational experience and outcomes for the students at Linda Vista Elementary.

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.
