CDE CAASPP 2025

Most rating sites would stop at “51% proficient” and call it done. Alliance Marine - Innovation and Technology 6-12 C deserves a closer read. It sits at the 74th percentile of 2,238 California middle schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.

The headline number: +19.1pp separates this year's grade 6 from its grade 8. The state average falls 0.5pp over the same span. Following the same students from 2023 G6 → 2025 G8 points the same way.

As a charter, Alliance Marine - Innovation and Technology 6-12 C enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
