Summary

San Leandro Virtual Academy is a K–12 alternative school serving 102 students in San Leandro, in California’s East Bay. Its latest graduation rate was 92%, above the state’s 88%, but chronic absenteeism is the more pressing concern: 34% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, compared with 20% in the San Leandro Unified School District and 18% statewide.

Science is the school’s clearest strength: 42% were proficient in 2025–26, ahead of the district at 32% and the state at 36%. That was also the highest reported result among nearby schools with data, including New Haven Academy at 36% and Independent Study Sojourner Truth at 31%. Math is the weakest subject against state and district results: 21% were proficient, 17 points below the state and 8 below the district. Among nearby schools with reported math results, the school was behind New Haven Academy at 43% and Sojourner Truth at 32%, but ahead of Alameda County Community and Alameda County Juvenile Hall/Court, both at 0%. ELA was also below state and district averages.

Results have improved over time, particularly in math, which rose from 6% proficiency in 2022–23 to 21% in 2025–26; science climbed from 18% to 42% over the same period. However, ELA gains were less steady, and the latest results in ELA and math remain below both comparison averages. Graduation has also varied, from 95% in 2022–23 to 55% in 2023–24, before reaching 92% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger ranks the district 603rd of 968, in the 38th percentile, with 2 stars; it does not provide a school-level rank or star rating here. The school’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 17.7, close to the nearby-school average of 17.6. In 2024–25, 80% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, above the nearby-school average of 62%. With 102 students, year-to-year test results may shift with changes in the number tested.
