Summary

Del Vista Math and Science Academy is a public K-5 elementary school serving 526 students within the Delano Union Elementary district, and it stands out for a remarkable decade-long journey of improvement from one of the state's lowest rankings to performing at an average level today.

The school's greatest strengths are in mathematics, where it outperforms both the district and state averages, and in its exceptional effectiveness with Hispanic and English Learner student groups, ranking significantly higher for these subgroups than for the school overall. This success is notable given the economic challenges many families face. While the school has made huge progress in reducing chronic absenteeism since the pandemic, its current rate is still higher than nearby schools like Harvest Elementary, Princeton Street Elementary, and Terrace Elementary.

Interestingly, despite "Science" being in its name, science proficiency is an area for growth, lagging behind both the district and state and trailing peers like Harvest Elementary and Nueva Vista Language Academy. The school also operates with higher per-student funding than most district counterparts, though schools like Morningside achieve similar results with less. When compared to a higher-performing school like Columbine Elementary in a neighboring district, Del Vista's achievements are contextually impressive given the greater economic needs of its student community.
