Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “40% proficient” and call it done. Visions In Education deserves a closer read. It sits at the 54th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.
The headline number: 9.8% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.
As a charter, Visions In Education enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

How does Visions In Education rank in California?

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 Visions In Education getting better or worse?
