Summary

California Virtual Academy @ Los Angeles is a large, online public charter school serving 5,705 K-12 students from the Simi Valley area and beyond, operating within its own California Virtual Academy @ Los Angeles District.

This school stands out for its strong performance in math and science, where its students score above the state average, and for having an exceptionally low rate of chronic student absenteeism at just 7.6%. While its graduation rate is improving and is among the best compared to similar online schools like California Virtual Academy @ San Diego and iQ Academy California-Los Angeles, the school's overall dropout rate remains higher than the state average. Performance is notably stronger in middle school math and especially in 11th grade across all subjects, suggesting the online model can be very effective for older, more independent learners.

Compared to other virtual schools, CAVA @ LA is a large-scale operation with higher per-student spending, and it generally outperforms schools like Insight @ San Diego which struggle with much higher dropout and absenteeism. The data shows that quality varies widely among online schools, and CAVA @ Los Angeles represents a mid-to-upper tier option that excels in student attendance and specific academic areas while continuing to work on improving graduation outcomes.
