CDE CAASPP 2025

Most rating sites would stop at “28% proficient” and call it done. Alliance Cindy and Bill Simon Technology Academy H deserves a closer read. It sits at the 32nd percentile of 2,160 California high schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.

As a charter, Alliance Cindy and Bill Simon Technology Academy H enrolls by application rather than address. That changes how you get in, but it doesn't change the score.

Worth a school visit

Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.

  • 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.
