Loma Vista Immersion Academy

Summary:

Loma Vista Immersion Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-6 in Petaluma, CA, with 489 students. The school is part of the Old Adobe Union District, which is ranked 736 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating.

While Loma Vista Immersion Academy has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 2241 out of 5789 California elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 3311 out of 5862 in 2023-2024 with a 2-star rating, the school's performance varies significantly across different student groups. Male students and Hispanic students perform better than female students and white students. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.2% in 2018-2019 to 22.7% in 2022-2023. Loma Vista Immersion Academy's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels.

Compared to nearby charter schools, such as Miwok Valley Elementary Charter, Old Adobe Elementary Charter, and Sonoma Mountain Elementary, as well as traditional public schools in the area, like McDowell Elementary and McKinley Elementary, Loma Vista Immersion Academy appears to be underperforming, with lower test scores and statewide rankings. The school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the performance gaps, particularly for its female and white student populations.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
