Summary

Diablo Vista Elementary is a public elementary school in Antioch, California, serving 499 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. While the school consistently outperforms the Antioch Unified School District in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, its overall academic performance still lags behind the state average, indicating room for improvement.

One significant challenge facing Diablo Vista Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 20.4% to 36.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a large population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 55.91% to 66.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite spending more per student ($16,279 to $17,776) compared to the state average, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 18.9 to 20.5 students per teacher.

When compared to nearby schools, Diablo Vista Elementary performs better than other schools in the Antioch Unified School District, such as Muir (John) Elementary and Grant Elementary. However, it lags significantly behind schools in the neighboring Oakley Union Elementary and Brentwood Union school districts, such as Almond Grove Elementary and Ron Nunn Elementary, which have much higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
