Vista Oaks Charter

Summary:

Vista Oaks Charter is a public charter school in Lodi, California that serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade. With a diverse student population, the school has a strong academic track record, outperforming the state average on standardized tests in English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels.

One of Vista Oaks Charter's key strengths is its low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.8% in 2022-2023, which is significantly better than the state average. The school also boasts a high four-year graduation rate of 90% and a low dropout rate of 4.3%. When compared to other alternative schools in the area, such as John F. Cruikshank Junior, one.Charter, and San Joaquin County Special Education, Vista Oaks Charter stands out with its significantly higher academic performance, graduation rates, and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism rates.

While Vista Oaks Charter's overall academic performance is impressive, with 57.75% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 55.41%, there is room for improvement in mathematics. In 11th grade, the school's math proficiency rate of 14.08% was lower than the state average of 27.36%. However, the school has maintained relatively consistent academic performance in both subjects over the past three school years, suggesting that the factors contributing to its success, such as its diverse student population and low chronic absenteeism, may be worth further exploration by parents and educators alike.

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.
