Summary

California Virtual Academy @ San Joaquin is a large, K-12 online public school based in Simi Valley, serving 3,219 students from across the region through a fully virtual format.

This school shows a mixed academic picture: its students perform slightly better than the state average in math (38.24%) and notably better in science (35.53%), but lag in English Language Arts (40.17%). A significant strength is student engagement, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.8%, which is less than half the state average and among the best of similar virtual schools. However, a major concern is its low graduation rate (74.6%) and high dropout rate (24.6%), suggesting that while students log in regularly, many struggle to complete their programs. Performance varies by grade, with 11th graders excelling but elementary students facing challenges.

Compared to other online schools, like the top-performing California Virtual Academy San Mateo or the struggling Insight @ San Joaquin, this school sits in the middle tier. It spends less per student than some peers, such as iQ Academy California-Los Angeles, but achieves comparable results. The data shows that virtual schools with similar student populations can have very different outcomes, indicating that the quality of the online program and support systems are critical factors for success.
