Summary:
This analysis covers one elementary school, Voices College-Bound Language Academy at W. Contra Costa County, a K-8 school in Richmond serving 343 students within the Voices College-Bound Lang Academy @ W. Contra Costa County district.
The school faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency rates in English, math, and science far below California state averages. Its statewide ranking has also declined sharply over the past three years. These academic difficulties are accompanied by a chronic absenteeism rate much higher than the state average and a very high student-to-teacher ratio, which can limit individual attention.
When considering this school, parents should note it serves a community with high economic need and operates with very low per-student spending compared to the state. The considerable variation in test scores between different grade levels suggests the educational experience may not be consistent for all students. The district itself is ranked in the bottom percentile statewide, indicating these are systemic challenges.
