Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025

Has held the 87th-percentile line every tested year since 2019.

Most rating sites would stop at “59% proficient” and call it done. Alice C. Stelle deserves a closer read. It sits at the 87th percentile of 2,177 California middle schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.

Alice C. Stelle's low-income kids hit 55.4% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.

Alice C. Stelle Middle scores 59 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 87th percentile of 2,177 California middle schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 59% meet the standard today, versus 63% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.

California's own growth model splits here — the 28th percentile in reading against the 84th in math, among middle schools.

Context — never part of the Scope Score

California runs its own growth model, following individual children in grades 4 through 8 rather than comparing school-wide averages the way we do — and its two subjects part company here. It puts this school around the 28th percentile of California middle schools in reading and the 84th in math; ours, which blends the subjects, lands around the 92nd. A gap that size between math and reading in one building is worth asking about directly — one year of data can't tell you whether it is the teaching, the cohort, or noise.

— pts vs expected is scale-score points above or below what California's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores. It is not a percentage and not a percent of anything. A typical California middle school lands at −1 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −8 and +6 — the spread is wide, so read the rank, not the sign. CDE blends two consecutive years into each published figure, so adjacent years share input data and no year-over-year trend can honestly be drawn from them. It covers grades 4-8 only, and it is not part of the Scope Score — we assessed it and left it out: it tracks school demographics roughly three times as strongly as our own growth measure does, and one published year is not enough to test how stable it is.

California follows these children individually and predicts each one's score from their own prior year. Each row is read against the same group at a typical California middle school — not against zero, and not against this school's all-students figure, because the state's expectation already differs by group.

— 2 more groups are reported here with between 11 and 29 students. We hold those back on purpose: at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own, and a quarter of such groups land past the state's top or bottom cut point by chance alone. They are listed with their student counts in the data appendix. — A group not listed at all had fewer than 11 students with a growth score, so California published nothing for it here. That is a privacy protection, not a judgment about those students. — Context only. None of this enters the Scope Score.

These measure different things: this figure is spending attributed to this campus, while district-wide figures also include central administration, districtwide programs, and the state's pension contributions made on the district's behalf — costs that never get assigned to a single school. The district number runs higher at nearly every school, not just this one.

$680 per student arrives as federal Title funding — a measure of concentrated need, not school quality.

The road from this school ends at Calabasas High, which sent 54 graduates to UC campuses last fall and teaches 22 AP subjects. Those numbers describe past cohorts — a child starting here today would reach Calabasas High around 2031, and 6 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 77% of Calabasas High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

What should I do next?

Worth a school visit

Ask what changed — new curriculum, new principal, new program. Momentum has a cause, and a visit will find it.

  • Ask how teachers track each child's growth over the year, not just where the class lands on test day.
  • Ask whether extra support — tutoring, counseling, small groups — reaches kids across income lines, not just the students already ahead.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
  • Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
  • Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Alice C. Stelle Middle a good middle school?
Alice C. Stelle Middle has a Scope Score of 59 out of 100, placing it in the 87th percentile of California middle schools and ranked #279 statewide. 28.4% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 11.2 percentage points above the California average of 17.2%. The Scope Score weights 6 dimensions for middle schools: exceeded standard (42%), met or exceeded (proficient) (23%), grade 6-to-8 growth (20%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Alice C. Stelle Middle's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 59.5% of students at Alice C. Stelle Middle met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 28.4% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 31.1% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 28.4% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 1,512 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Alice C. Stelle Middle rank in California?
Alice C. Stelle Middle ranks #279 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 87th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), same-cohort growth (2023 G6 → 2025 G8), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. 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 Alice C. Stelle Middle getting better or worse?
SchoolScope follows the same cohort of students across grades rather than comparing two different grades in the same year. At Alice C. Stelle Middle that cohort is 2023 G6 → 2025 G8, measured in SBAC scale-score points. Its gain ranks strong among California middle schools — roughly the 92nd percentile, ahead of the typical school at this level. Read the ranking, not the raw point gain: scale scores rise with age, so nearly every school posts a positive number and only the relative position tells you anything. Growth is weighted at 20% in the middle Scope Score because it is the least demographically confounded signal available — it tracks change over time rather than the level students arrived at. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Alice C. Stelle Middle?
9.3% of students at Alice C. Stelle Middle are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 18.1%. The suspension rate is 2.8%. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Alice C. Stelle Middle compare to other schools in Calabasas?
Alice C. Stelle Middle scores 59/100 (87th percentile) among California middle schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 760 students. Use the schools in Calabasas page or the map view to compare all middle schools nearby.
How does Alice C. Stelle Middle serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Alice C. Stelle Middle in Calabasas, 55.4% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 59.4% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Alice C. Stelle Middle trails its district average for low-income students by 3.9 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (46.7% Math proficient); White students (63.5% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 40.5 percentage points for disabilities students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 184 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
What high school does Alice C. Stelle Middle feed into?
By attendance boundary, Alice C. Stelle Middle is zoned to Calabasas High. Calabasas High has a Scope Score of 70 out of 100. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education's School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

What the score weighs · CAASPP 2024–25

Growth carries this score — its returning cohort's growth from grade 6 to grade 8. The test levels clear the state's too.

The school's returning cohort — mostly, not exactly, the same kids two years on — gained 62 scale-score points across the span. Almost every school gains points, so we rank the gain against every other California school in this level.

Alice C. Stelle Middle: reading the evidence

Alice C. Stelle pairs 59% proficiency with gains that hold up when the school's returning cohort is tracked two years apart — the rare school that posts both.

Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.

Grade gap = this year's grade 3 vs grade 5 result, two different sets of students, not a trend for any one child — it is not the measurement the Scope Score's growth dimension uses. See §01 above and /methodology#verdicts for the school's actual scored (cohort) growth.

Whole scale-score points above or below what CDE's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores — not a percentage, not a percentile. Statewide a typical school lands near +1 with a spread of about 13 points either side, so read a figure against its group's own typical value, not against zero. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a growth score — published by CDE, held back from the narrative sections above because at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own. “Not categorised” is CDE assigning no band — English Only, Recently Reclassified, and English Learners Only receive a value and no band, for every school in the state. It is not a missing number. Most figures blend two consecutive years, so adjacent published years share input data and no trend line can honestly be drawn across them. A group absent from this table had fewer than 11 students with a growth score and was never published. Grades 4-8 only. None of this enters the Scope Score — it is more strongly correlated with school demographics than our own growth measure, and one published year is not enough to test its reliability.
