Berkeley Independent Study K-8
Grades K-8Alternative School
Alternative school — serves students who benefit from a non-traditional educational setting. Scores are not directly comparable to comprehensive schools.
No Scope Score available
California doesn't publicly report per-grade test results when fewer than 11 students are tested in a grade — a privacy protection for small schools. With 27 students total, this school likely falls below that threshold in most tested grades. We can't compute a Scope Score without that data.
