Summary
Vista Horizon Global Academy is a K–5 school in Los Angeles, California, with 154 students. In 2025–26, its all-grade proficiency was 25% in English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA), 35% in math and 16% in science. The clearest academic concern is ELA and science: among eight nearby K–5 schools with comparable results, Vista was second-lowest in both subjects.
Math is Vista’s relative strength, though its scores were below state and local district benchmarks: 35% versus California’s 38% and the Los Angeles Unified benchmark of 40%. ELA was 25%, compared with 49% statewide and 48% for Los Angeles Unified; science was 16%, versus 36% and 32%, respectively. Among nearby schools, averages were 43% in ELA, 38% in math and 29% in science, putting Vista 18 points below the ELA average, 3 below in math and 13 below in science. Grade 3 math is a notable bright spot: 53%, 6 points above the state, with only Hoover Street Elementary higher among local schools with same-grade results. In contrast, Grade 4 ELA was 19%, 27 points below the state, and Grade 5 math was 16%, 21 points below. Attendance is positive: chronic absenteeism was 10%, 8 points below the state and lower than the 11% at Charles H. Kim Elementary. Los Angeles Unified is a local comparison, not Vista’s own district benchmark; none is supplied for the school’s reported district, Vista Horizon Global Academy District.
Results have moved in different directions: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math rose 13 points, from 22% to 35%, while ELA fell 15 points, from 40% to 25%, and science fell 13 points, from 29% to 16%. SchoolDigger places Vista at the 28th percentile statewide in 2025–26 (rank 4,190 of 5,804; 1 star), up from the 16th percentile the prior year but below its 51st-percentile standing in 2021–22. The school’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 22, above nearby K–5 schools’ range of 14.1–20.5. In 2024–25, 93% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, within the 87%–96% range among nearby schools with that same measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile for Hispanic students rose from 20 in 2024–25 to 38 in 2025–26; for Female Students, it fell from 56 in 2023–24 to 27 the next year, then recovered to 32.
