Summary:
In the 91902 zip code of Bonita, California, three public elementary schools (K-6) operate under the Chula Vista Elementary district, forming a cluster that generally outperforms both district and state academic averages.
Among these schools, Allen (Ella B.) Elementary stands out for the strongest overall academic performance, with the highest proficiency rates in English (68.5%) and Math (57.1%), while Sunnyside Elementary leads in Science (51.9%). Valley Vista Elementary is notable as the most improved, jumping 25 percentile points in two years, and excels in student attendance with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.3%, the lowest of the three.
An interesting finding is that higher per-student spending does not directly correlate with better attendance or academic results; Valley Vista spends the least per student but has the best attendance, while Allen spends the most and has the highest absenteeism. Parents should note that all schools are strong in science, but Valley Vista has a significant opportunity for growth in mathematics, where its proficiency is roughly 20 points below its peers. Both Allen and Sunnyside have maintained high 4-star ratings for three consecutive years, demonstrating consistent quality.
