Bobier Elementary

Summary:

Bobier Elementary is a public elementary school in Vista, California, serving 499 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Vista Unified school district, which has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Bobier Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (95.19%) and a very high rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (86.97%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Academically, Bobier Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the Vista Unified School District and California state averages. The school has also experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.1% in 2018-2019 to 32.5% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the nearby schools.

While some nearby schools, such as Mission Meadows Elementary, Empresa Elementary, and T.H.E Leadership Academy, perform significantly better than Bobier Elementary, other nearby schools, such as Beaumont Elementary, Grapevine Elementary, and Maryland Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, suggesting that Bobier Elementary is not an outlier within the district.

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.
