Annual results and the full academic record
Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025

Climbed from the 5th to the 23rd percentile since 2019 — past roughly 200 middle schools.

Most rating sites would stop at “20% proficient” and call it done. Bay Area Technology deserves a closer read. Four in five of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Test scores are one lens, and at this school they're a rough one right now. The sections below show the fuller picture — including the parts that are working.

As a charter, Bay Area Technology enrolls by application rather than address. That changes how you get in, but it doesn't change the score.

118 tested · 3 of 3 grades published · cohort of 43 tracked

Bay Area Technology scores 24 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 23rd percentile of 2,177 California middle schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Proficiency here is back to its pre-pandemic level — 20% meet the standard, about where the school stood in 2019.

State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25

Our growth read and California's own model agree — both land near the 89th percentile of 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. The two measures land in the same neighbourhood here — ours puts this school around the 75th percentile of California middle schools, the state's around the 89th in reading and math together. Two different methods agreeing is the most you can ask of one year of test data.

— 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.

— 6 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.

Worth a school visit

Ask what changed in the last two years, and what the school is asking families for. Growth shows up in these numbers a year or two after it shows up in classrooms.

  • Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside it.
  • Ask what typically leads to a suspension, and what happens before it gets there.
  • 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 Bay Area Technology a good middle school?
Bay Area Technology has a Scope Score of 24 out of 100, placing it in the 23rd percentile of California middle schools and ranked #1,686 statewide. 6.4% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 10.8 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 Bay Area Technology's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 20.4% of students at Bay Area Technology met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 6.4% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 14.0% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 6.4% 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. 171 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Bay Area Technology rank in California?
Bay Area Technology ranks #1,686 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 23rd 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 Bay Area Technology getting better or worse?
SchoolScope follows the same cohort of students across grades rather than comparing two different grades in the same year. At Bay Area Technology that cohort is 2023 G6 → 2025 G8, measured in SBAC scale-score points. Its gain ranks above avg among California middle schools — roughly the 75th 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 Bay Area Technology?
42.4% of students at Bay Area Technology are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 18.1%. The suspension rate is 10.7%. 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 Bay Area Technology compare to other schools in Oakland?
Bay Area Technology scores 24/100 (23rd 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 255 students. Use the schools in Oakland page or the map view to compare all middle schools nearby.
How does Bay Area Technology serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Bay Area Technology in Oakland, 29.7% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 24.0% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Bay Area Technology outperforms its district average for low-income students by 5.7 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (13.7% Math proficient); Hispanic students (32.3% ELA proficient). Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 101 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.

A closer look at the evidence

Bay Area Technology: reading the evidence

Bay Area Technology posts low test scores — and the returning cohort gains more here than at most schools between grade 6 and grade 8. If this is your zoned school, the numbers below are where to start a conversation, not where to end one.

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.

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. 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.
