What Is the CVI?
The Customization Value Index (CVI) is La Salle College Preparatory’s data-driven measure of educational value. It compares the level of academic customization and innovation that students experience against the tuition that families invest. In simple terms, it answers the question every parent asks: “How much personalized, high-quality education does my child receive for every tuition dollar?”
How CVI Is Measured
Each year, La Salle analyzes six key areas that define student experience and reflect our commitment to personalized and customized learning:
- Advanced Curriculum and Programs other than AP
- Global and Cultural Competence Programs
- Arts, Media, and Designed Pathways
- College and Career Advising, Community Partnerships & Mentorship
- Holistic Student Support & Mental Well Being
- Mission & Faith Integration
Scores in each category are benchmarked against elite independent and Catholic schools across Los Angeles County. The result is a comprehensive, research-based comparison of quality per tuition dollar that demonstrates how effectively La Salle personalizes and customizes learning to meet the needs of every student.
La Salle’s Standing
La Salle’s CVI score of 9.33 ranks among the highest in Southern California, while tuition remains nearly 40% lower than comparable independent schools.
| Comparative Group | Customization Score | Tuition | CVI (Value per $1,000) |
| School A | 9.31 | $52,500 | 0.18 |
| School B | 8.70 | $48,900 | 0.18 |
| School C | 7.93 | $29,740 | 0.27 |

La Salle’s near-elite performance at moderate tuition levels demonstrates elite outcomes with mission accessibility. For families, the CVI provides confidence that La Salle delivers measurable return on investment. For the school, it ensures that every tuition decision remains rooted in data, fairness, and mission integrity.
By maintaining one of the strongest CVI ratings in California, La Salle proves that excellence, affordability, and faith-based education can coexist, creating transformational opportunities for every student.
