How Voices College-Bound Language Academy compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Voices College-Bound Language Academy
Voices College-Bound Language Academy is a mid-sized charter elementary school in San Jose, California, enrolling 316 students.
At 21.1:1, its student-teacher ratio sits close to the California median, within a few percentage points of the 21.5:1 state norm, neither notably crowded nor notably small.
Economic need runs somewhat below the state's typical profile, with 34.1% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 316 puts it in the smaller third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 91% of the 9,998 California schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 763 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #716, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (97% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 7/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 62.3% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 16.0% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among San Jose's elementary schools, it stands alongside Easterbrook Discovery (952 students): Voices College-Bound Language Academy is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (21.1:1 vs 22.1:1).
Voices College-Bound Language Academy District is a single-school charter district, so Voices College-Bound Language Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
