Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025
Climbed from the 34th to the 61st percentile since 2019 — past roughly 400 middle schools.
Most rating sites would stop at “35% proficient” and call it done. Alliance Kory Hunter deserves a closer read. Nearly all of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: +5.7pp separates this year's grade 6 from its grade 8. The state average rises 0.1pp over the same span. Following the school's returning cohort from 2023 G6 → 2025 G8 points the same way.
As a charter, Alliance Kory Hunter enrolls by application rather than address. That changes how you get in, but it doesn't change the score.

California’s growth results and student groups
State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25
California's own growth model splits here — the 95th percentile in reading against the 71st 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 95th percentile of California middle schools in reading and the 71st in math; ours, which blends the subjects, lands around the 93rd. A gap that size between reading and math 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.

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 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 Alliance Kory Hunter Middle a good middle school?
Alliance Kory Hunter Middle has a Scope Score of 41 out of 100, placing it in the 61st percentile of California middle schools and ranked #846 statewide. 11.1% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 6.1 percentage points below 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 Alliance Kory Hunter Middle's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 35.5% of students at Alliance Kory Hunter Middle met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 11.1% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 24.4% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 11.1% 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. 924 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Alliance Kory Hunter Middle rank in California?
Alliance Kory Hunter Middle ranks #846 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 61st 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 Alliance Kory Hunter 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 Alliance Kory Hunter Middle that cohort is 2023 G6 → 2025 G8, measured in SBAC scale-score points. Its gain ranks strong among California middle schools — roughly the 93rd 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 Alliance Kory Hunter Middle?
13.1% of students at Alliance Kory Hunter 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 2.9%. 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 Alliance Kory Hunter Middle compare to other schools in Los Angeles?
Alliance Kory Hunter Middle scores 41/100 (61st 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 470 students. Use the schools in Los Angeles page or the map view to compare all middle schools nearby.
How does Alliance Kory Hunter Middle serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Alliance Kory Hunter Middle in Los Angeles, 45.1% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 40.9% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Alliance Kory Hunter Middle outperforms its district average for low-income students by 4.2 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (25.0% Math proficient); Hispanic students (45.9% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 34.4 percentage points for english learner students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 448 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.

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 sit close to the state's.
The school's returning cohort — mostly, not exactly, the same kids two years on — gained 64 scale-score points across the span. Almost every school gains points, so we rank the gain against every other California school in this level.

A closer look at the evidence
Alliance Kory Hunter Middle: reading the evidence
Alliance Kory Hunter sits mid-pack on raw proficiency — and it's climbing faster than most schools anywhere near it — and that holds when you follow the school's own returning cohort across grades.
Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.
Ask how many years the improvement has held, not just the latest one — one strong cohort and a real turnaround can look identical in a single year of data.

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. “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. Long-Term English Learner counts cover grades 6-8 only (CDE), so that row is not comparable to the All Students row. 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.
