CDE CAASPP 2025

Most rating sites would stop at “41% proficient” and call it done. Beattie deserves a closer read. The school sits in Highland, where three in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 48.4% of English learners reached the top ELPAC level, versus 18.0% statewide.

What are Beattie Middle's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 40.9% of students at Beattie Middle met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 16.4% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 24.5% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 16.4% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

How does Beattie Middle rank in California?
Beattie Middle ranks #718 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 58th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 6 to grade 8 growth), 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 Beattie Middle getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Beattie Middle decreases by 1.0 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth. This downward pattern doesn't necessarily mean the school is failing — it can reflect cohort differences, demographic shifts, or curriculum changes. A campus visit and conversation with teachers can reveal what the numbers can't. Growth trajectory is weighted at 15% in the middle Scope Score because it measures what the school does, not just who walks in the door.

SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
