ARISE High scores 42 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 42nd percentile of 2,160 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “39% proficient” and call it done. ARISE deserves a closer read. The school sits in Oakland, where three in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 52.8% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.
As a charter, ARISE enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), 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.
