of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 23% of California elementary schools

Summary

Hannalei Elementary is a K–5 school with 480 students in Vista, in the Vista Unified area. Its most important challenge is that 2025–26 proficiency was below both the state and district in all three tested subjects: 31% in ELA, 24% in math, and 20% in science.

Compared with the state, Hannalei’s largest gap was in ELA: 18 percentage points below the state and 14 below the district. It was 14 points below the state in math and 16 below in science. Math was its closest subject to state and district results, but nearby K–5 schools set a higher bar: their averages were 45% in ELA, 42% in math, and 35% in science, putting Hannalei 14, 17, and 15 points below those averages. It ranked sixth of eight K–5 schools in ELA and math, and seventh in science, so it was not the lowest in every subject.

Results have changed unevenly. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 3 points to 31%, while math was nearly unchanged at 24%; science fell 6 points to 20%, despite a 13-point rebound in the latest year. Over that period, the state improved faster in math and science, widening Hannalei’s gaps. SchoolDigger rates the school 1 star, at the 23rd statewide percentile, down from the 44th percentile in 2021–22. Its 21.8 students per teacher is the second-lowest ratio among nearby schools. The school reported 74% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, the fourth-highest share among 11 nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for Special Education Students was stronger than its overall standing: the group ranked at the 48th percentile in 2025–26, compared with 23rd overall. By contrast, its English Language Learner Students ranking fell from the 54th percentile in 2021–22 to the 5th in 2023–24.
