Mission Vista Academy: Kids show up — absenteeism runs far below the state. But math slips between grade 3 and grade 5.

Mission Vista Academy is a school of real strengths with one number worth interrogating. Most rating sites pick a side; we think both belong on the same page.

Mission Vista Academy scores 44 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 59th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

CDE CAASPP 2025

Most rating sites would stop at “39% proficient” and call it done. Mission Vista Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Beaumont, where two in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 2.1% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.

As a charter, Mission Vista Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

The ceiling holds — more kids exceed by grade 5 — but the floor slips: fewer clear the bar at all. A school visit and conversation with teachers will tell you more than this number.

Frequently asked questions

Is Mission Vista Academy a good elementary school?
Mission Vista Academy has a Scope Score of 44 out of 100, placing it in the 59th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #2,383 statewide. 16.7% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 4.6 percentage points below the California average of 21.3%. The Scope Score weights six dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard (43%), met or exceeded (22%), grade 3-to-5 growth (15%), chronic absenteeism (10%), ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%), and suspension rate (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Mission Vista Academy's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 39.3% of students at Mission Vista Academy met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 16.7% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 22.5% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 16.7% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it reveals whether a school's curriculum challenges students beyond minimum proficiency or paces toward it. 3,512 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Mission Vista Academy rank in California?
Mission Vista Academy ranks #2,383 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 59th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 3 to grade 5 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
Is Mission Vista Academy getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Mission Vista Academy decreases by 2.7 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth. This downward pattern doesn't necessarily mean the school is failing — it can reflect cohort differences, demographic shifts, or curriculum changes. A campus visit and conversation with teachers can reveal what the numbers can't. Growth trajectory is weighted at 15% in the elementary Scope Score because it measures what the school does, not just who walks in the door.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Mission Vista Academy?
2.1% of students at Mission Vista Academy are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 0.0%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Mission Vista Academy compare to other schools in Beaumont?
Mission Vista Academy scores 44/100 (59th percentile) among California elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 6,724 students. Use the schools in Beaumont page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does Mission Vista Academy serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Mission Vista Academy in Beaumont, 41.3% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 45.2% district-wide and 38.2% statewide.

Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 1,465 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
