Kelseyville Learning Academy

Kelseyville Learning Academy is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Kelseyville, California, with a relatively small enrollment of 46 students. Despite being part of the Kelseyville Unified School District, which is ranked 1373 out of 1565 districts in the state, Kelseyville Learning Academy consistently outperforms the district in standardized test scores across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

However, the school faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 10% to 26.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Kelseyville Learning Academy serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.62% to 55.56% over the past few years. The school's per-student spending has also seen significant fluctuations, ranging from $6,247 in 2020-2021 to $21,330 in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby schools, California Connections Academy North Bay outperforms Kelseyville Learning Academy in both ELA and Math test scores, while Richard H. Lewis Alternative, Clearlake Creativity, and Blue Heron perform significantly worse. Overall, Kelseyville Learning Academy appears to be a relatively strong performer among the nearby alternative schools, particularly in terms of academic achievement, but the school's high chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic challenges may be areas that require further attention and support.
