Nueva Vista Elementary

Summary:

Nueva Vista Elementary is a public elementary school in Bell, California, serving 674 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Nueva Vista Elementary is part of the same district as nearby schools, its academic performance is generally lower than its neighbors. The school's proficiency rates on Smarter Balanced Assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the Los Angeles Unified and California state averages across grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's English Language Arts proficiency ranged from 34.12% to 49.06%, compared to the state averages of 42.8% to 45.82%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 22.81% to 44.32%, compared to the state averages of 34.31% to 45.64%. The school's performance in Science and Spanish Language Arts is also below district and state levels. Additionally, Nueva Vista Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.5% in 2017-2018 to 32.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby schools.

Despite these challenges, the school's student population has some bright spots. Male students and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners, tend to perform better than the overall school population. However, students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform worse than their peers. Addressing the root causes of the school's academic and attendance issues, such as socioeconomic factors and health concerns, could be crucial for improving the educational experience for the students at Nueva 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.
