Summary

California Virtual Academy at Sutter is an alternative K–12 school in Simi Valley, California, serving 1,623 students; the comparison schools are also K–12 alternatives, but they are in different districts. Its academic results are mixed: in 2024–25, Sutter was above the state in math and science, but its clearest academic concern was ELA, where 41% of students met proficiency compared with 49% statewide.

Compared with nearby schools, Sutter was above the peer average in all three subjects: ELA was 41% versus 36%, math 38% versus 32%, and science 35% versus 31%. It ranked 4th of 11 in ELA, 5th in math, and 6th in science. Math was 1 point above the state and science 2 points above, while ELA was 8 points below. Longer-term outcomes also merit attention: in 2023–24, graduation was 64% versus 86% statewide, and dropout was 32% versus 9%. The supplied data include neither district-level test results nor SchoolDigger statewide ranks or star ratings, so school-to-district comparisons and statewide rank or star assessments are not available.

Math and science have made strong gains over three years: from 2022–23 to 2024–25, math rose 12 points and science rose 5, while ELA fell 1 point and its gap with the state widened. Chronic absenteeism was lower than the state rate in 2024–25—12% versus 19%—but that does not erase the concerns raised by graduation and dropout figures. For context, Sutter’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 27.2, around the middle of the peer group. In 2024–25, 71.3% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the peer average of 70.6%; these figures describe context, not the cause of academic results.
