Summary

Leonardo da Vinci Health Sciences Charter is a small, K-6 elementary school serving 273 students in Chula Vista, CA, with a specialized focus on health sciences and a lower student-teacher ratio than many nearby schools.

The school serves a high-need population and shows a mixed academic profile, performing slightly above the state average in mathematics but below average in English Language Arts and science. A notable finding is the exceptional performance of its sixth graders, who significantly outperform both state averages and the school's own younger students. The school has also made impressive progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, bringing it nearly in line with the state average. However, its overall state ranking has been volatile in recent years, currently placing it in the middle tier of California elementary schools.

Compared to other local options, Leonardo da Vinci represents a mid-tier choice. It performs comparably to some nearby schools like Cook (Hazel Goes) Elementary and Castle Park Elementary, but is outperformed by higher-ranking schools such as Palomar Elementary and Parkview Elementary. Its closest neighbor, Kellogg (Karl H.) Elementary, has better attendance and science scores but larger class sizes. Families may value Leonardo da Vinci's smaller classes and health theme, while considering other schools in the Chula Vista Elementary district for stronger overall academic outcomes.
