Bloomington High scores 48 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 48th 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 →

🌱 Building Momentum — This label means the data doesn't clearly sort the school one way or the other — ask what the school is proud of, and what it's working on.

Most rating sites would stop at “30% proficient” and call it done. Bloomington deserves a closer read. The school sits in Bloomington, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Worth a school visit

Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.

  • Ask what share of students complete the full college-prep course sequence, and who gets steered into it.
  • 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.

UC is one road of many — the full destination mix for the class of 2023 is below. And who applied isn't who the school taught: the ratio between the two reflects the self-selected pool of students who chose to apply, not what happened in the classroom. By the state's 2023 count, 57% of this class's predecessors enrolled in college somewhere within a year. More of the class of 2023 enrolled at community colleges (118) than at UC (20).

Frequently asked questions

Is Bloomington High a good high school?

Bloomington High has a Scope Score of 48 out of 100, placing it in the 48th percentile of California high schools and ranked #1,113 statewide. 8.9% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 6.9 percentage points below the California average of 15.8%. The Scope Score weights 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate (25%), exceeded standard (22%), college/career readiness (20%), met or exceeded (proficient) (18%), 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 Bloomington High's CAASPP test scores?

On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 29.8% of students at Bloomington High met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 8.9% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 20.8% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 8.9% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it reveals whether a school's curriculum challenges students beyond minimum proficiency or paces toward it. 741 student-subject combinations were assessed.

How does Bloomington High rank in California?

Bloomington High ranks #1,113 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 48th percentile. 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.

What is the attendance and school culture like at Bloomington High?

19.6% of students at Bloomington High are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 30.2%. The suspension rate is 3.9%. 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 Bloomington High compare to other schools in Bloomington?

Bloomington High scores 48/100 (48th percentile) among California high 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 1,794 students. Use the schools in Bloomington page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.

How does Bloomington High serve low-income and underrepresented students?

At Bloomington High in Bloomington, 40.8% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 30.8% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Bloomington High outperforms its district average for low-income students by 10.0 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (17.9% Math proficient); Hispanic students (41.8% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 37.3 percentage points for english learner students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 351 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.

What AP courses are offered at Bloomington High?

Bloomington High's teachers are authorized to teach 20 of the 40 AP subjects the College Board offers, per the 2025 - 2026 AP Course Audit: 2-D Art and Design, 3-D Art and Design, African American Studies, Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Drawing, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, French Language and Culture, Macroeconomics, Physics 1, Psychology, Spanish Language and Culture, Spanish Literature and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History, World History: Modern. Authorization means the school may teach a course, not that a section is running this year, and it's separate from AP exam pass rates. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.

How many students from Bloomington High go to UC?

In fall 2025, 25 Bloomington High graduates enrolled at University of California campuses, universitywide. That figure can't be split into a per-campus sum — students apply to several UC campuses at once, so campus-level counts don't add up to the universitywide total. UC is one destination among many: this says nothing about graduates who chose a CSU, a private college, a community college, or work, and it is a count, not a rate or a ranking. Data source: University of California Office of the President (UC Information Center), fall 2025 admissions cycle.
