Vista Unified School District

Vista, CA

Vista Students STEPPING UP!

A recent report in September 2008 from the Superintendent of the Vista Unified School District (VUSD), Dr. Joyce Bales, is subtitled "Praise Plus". That's because the 1,281 students who received intensive intervention in Lindamood-Bell last year have stepped up their English-Language Arts California Standard Test (CST) results across grades 2-11, showing a consistent increase in student achievement.

Located 30 miles north of San Diego, Vista Unified consists of 32 schools (15 elementary, 4 middle, 5 high schools, and 8 charter, magnet, or alternative schools). There are approximately 28,000 students, with a high proportion of English Learners, minorities, and low-income students.

Starting in 2006-07, the collaboration between Vista Unified and Lindamood-Bell has been a huge success to date. One example is Olive Elementary School (Title 1). Olive was one of the lowest performing schools in the district. After the first year of the Lindamood-Bell implementation, Olive improved its performance index for reading (API) from 628 to 688, an 60-point increase and more than six times its target growth required by the state. This was the largest API gain in the state of California when compared to similar schools. Student achievement also increased for English Language (EL) Learners who participated in intensive intervention.

The focus of this ongoing partnership continues to be in professional development, program fidelity, and sustainability. Over 20 Vista instructional leaders will be certified by Lindamood-Bell by the end of the 2008-09 school year.

"Our partnership with Lindamood-Bell is making a significant difference in student reading achievement for our district."
Dr. Joyce Bales, Superintendent - Vista Unified School District

"Please know how grateful I am to have the opportunity to learn these programs and to teach children to read and understand language. These programs are my most valuable tool to meet the needs of my at-risk learners."
Laura, Teacher - Vista Unified School District
