Summary

Nueva Vista Elementary in Bell, California, serves grades K–6 and enrolls 636 students in Los Angeles Unified. Its most important academic finding is that math has risen sharply and is now above both state and district results: in 2025–26, 43% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 40% districtwide, after the school scored 30% in 2022–23.

Results are mixed across subjects and compared with nearby schools. ELA proficiency was 44% in 2025–26, the third-highest among nine schools with comparable results, but below the state’s 49%; science was 30%, below the state’s 36% and the district’s 32%. Math ranked sixth among those nine schools, with five nearby schools scoring higher, despite Nueva Vista’s result being slightly above the nearby-school average. In SchoolDigger’s latest statewide rankings, only Maywood Elementary and Heliotrope Avenue Elementary ranked higher locally.

Overall results and attendance have improved, though challenges remain. SchoolDigger placed Nueva Vista at the 56th percentile and three stars in 2025–26, up from the 43rd percentile in 2023–24. Chronic absenteeism fell from 46% in 2021–22 to 22% in 2025–26, but remained above the state’s 18%. In 2024–25, 93% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student-teacher ratio was 21.2. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also show stronger recent relative results for Hispanic Students, at the 74th percentile, and Low Socio Economic Status Students, at the 71st percentile, compared with the school’s overall 56th percentile. All-grade comparisons between schools are not perfectly like-for-like because nearby schools serve different grade spans.
