Summary

Vinedale College Preparatory Academy is a K-8 public school serving 207 students in Sun Valley, California, as part of the Los Angeles Unified district, but it faces significant academic challenges and ranks in the bottom quarter of all California schools.

The school's test scores in English, math, and science are well below both district and state averages, and it has a very high rate of chronic student absenteeism at 31.7%, which is a major concern. While the school spends more per student than many nearby schools, including Camellia Avenue Elementary and Roscoe Elementary, its academic results are lower. Performance varies widely by grade, with 8th-grade math proficiency critically low at 3.85%.

Comparisons with other local schools highlight these challenges. For instance, Stonehurst Avenue Elementary, a nearby district school with a similar student population, has proficiency rates more than double Vinedale's. Furthermore, nearby charter schools like ISANA Cardinal Academy and Fenton Charter Leadership Academy show much higher test scores and dramatically lower absenteeism with less funding per student. A recent positive change is an improved student-teacher ratio, which may help future performance.
