Summary

Mira Vista Elementary is a K–8 school in Richmond, California, with 510 students in West Contra Costa Unified, serving an area with 10 other nearby schools in the comparison. In 2025–26, 41% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), 33% in math, and 40% in science. The clearest takeaway is that Mira Vista ranked second among the 11 schools in all three subjects, with only Madera Elementary ahead in each.

Science is Mira Vista’s strongest result relative to state and district figures: 40% were proficient, compared with 36% statewide and 24% in the district. That was also well above the nearby-school average of 19%. ELA and math results were above district levels—by 7 and 5 percentage points, respectively—but below state levels: ELA was 9 points lower and math 5 points lower. Mira Vista’s results were much stronger than those of most nearby schools, though Madera was the clear local leader. The all-grades results also hide differences by grade: fourth-grade ELA was 29%, while seventh-grade ELA was 55%.

Science has improved substantially, rising from 23% proficiency in 2022–23 to 40% in 2025–26; its position relative to the state shifted from 8 points below to 4 points above. ELA and math also rose over that period, but their gaps behind the state widened. SchoolDigger placed Mira Vista at the 45th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, up from the 42nd percentile the previous year but below its 51st-percentile standing in 2023–24. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 20.6, below the nearby-school average of 22.8, and 57% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show notably lower relative standing for students with low socioeconomic status: the group was at the 16th percentile, compared with 45th overall. Its English Language Learner Students ranking also shifted sharply, from the 60th percentile in 2022–23 to the 7th in 2023–24.

Open Quote I am giving Mira Vista five stars based on the outstanding teachers my children have had so far, as well as the wonderful community of families we have met. Close Quote

Open Quote Mira Vista is now a K-8 school. It is not an elementary school any more. Its ranking has moved up 354 slots in 2010 according to your statistics. The PTA, administration, teachers and students are striving to do even better in the years to come. The potential is there for Mira Vista to become the top choice in the district for a wonderfully diverse K-8 experience. Close Quote
