Summary

Loma Vista Immersion Academy is a public K-6 elementary school serving 451 students in Petaluma, California, operating as part of the Old Adobe Union School District and distinguished by its language immersion program.

Academically, the school's performance is in the middle range for the area, ranking in the 49th percentile statewide. It shows a relative strength in mathematics, where it slightly exceeds the state average, while its English Language Arts scores are below both the district and state averages. The school has made a remarkable and positive turnaround in student attendance, dramatically reducing chronic absenteeism from 29.3% to 9.7% over three years, a rate now well below the state average. This improvement coincided with the school having the highest per-student spending in its district.

When compared to nearby schools, Loma Vista sits between extremes within a small geographic area. It performs significantly better than the lowest-performing Miwok Valley Elementary Charter but substantially below the highest-performing Sonoma Mountain Elementary and Meadow Elementary. The school's immersion program likely attracts a unique family demographic, and its improving attendance trends and stable funding suggest a foundation for continued growth.
