Summary

Rio Vista Elementary is a K–5 school in Bay Point, part of Mt. Diablo Unified, serving 431 students. Its students’ test results are below state and district proficiency rates in English language arts (ELA), math and science, and chronic absenteeism is also high. The central concern is that students are less likely to meet proficiency expectations than students statewide or districtwide in every reported subject.

Compared with nearby schools, Rio Vista is below the average in all three subjects, though its results vary by grade. In 2025–2026, about 24% of students met ELA standards, compared with 49% statewide and districtwide; math proficiency was 15%, versus 38% statewide and 39% districtwide; science was 14%, versus 36% statewide and 35% districtwide. Nearby-school averages were about 30% in ELA, 23% in math and 21% in science. One relative bright spot is fifth-grade ELA: Rio Vista’s 31% was third-highest among the nearby schools with grade-level results, just below Delta View Elementary. Fifth-grade math was a sharp contrast: at 9%, it was lower than all but Parkside Elementary.

Scores have risen overall since 2022–2023: ELA increased by about 4 percentage points, math by 3 and science by 5, although ELA slipped in the latest year. Chronic absenteeism fell by 10 points, from 43% to 33%, but remains above the district’s 19% and the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger places Rio Vista at the 8th percentile with 0 stars; its percentile has moved from 6 to 8 over the four years. Its 23.9 student–teacher ratio is close to the nearby-school average of 24.3. In 2024–2025, 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of about 72%. SchoolDigger’s group-specific effectiveness ranking was notably higher for Special Education Students in 2022–2023 (30th percentile versus 6th overall); for English Language Learner Students, it rose to the 27th percentile in 2022–2023 and then fell to the 11th percentile the following year. These rankings describe school performance for groups, not the students themselves.
