Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025
Has stayed near the 13th percentile since 2019.
Most rating sites would stop at “38% proficient” and call it done. Boron Junior-Senior deserves a closer read. Three 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.

California’s growth results and student groups
State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25
California's own growth model splits here — the 10th percentile in reading against the 82nd in math, among high schools.
Context — never part of the Scope Score
California runs its own growth model — it follows individual children in grades 4 through 8 and compares each one against a prediction from their own prior scores. On that measure this school sits about at the middle of California high schools in reading, and the 82nd in math. We show it; we don't score it.
— 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 high school lands at −3 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −13 and +5 — 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.

Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 74 students tested.
Low-income students here trail the state average for their group by 19 points in ELA — worth asking how the school is closing that gap.

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 high school — not against zero, and not against this school's all-students figure, because the state's expectation already differs by group.

— 2 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 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.

Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Boron Junior-Senior High's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 38.4% of students at Boron Junior-Senior High met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 10.9% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 27.4% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 10.9% 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. 73 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Boron Junior-Senior High rank in California?
Boron Junior-Senior High ranks #1,429 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 13th 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 Boron Junior-Senior High?
48.5% of students at Boron Junior-Senior High are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 1.9%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. 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 Boron Junior-Senior High compare to other schools in Boron?
Boron Junior-Senior High scores 40/100 (13th 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 253 students.

How does Boron Junior-Senior High serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Boron Junior-Senior High in Boron, 18.9% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 20.5% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Boron Junior-Senior High trails its district average for low-income students by 1.6 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (13.9% Math proficient); Hispanic students (26.3% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 5.6 percentage points for low-income students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 74 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 Boron Junior-Senior High?
Boron Junior-Senior High's teachers are authorized to teach 4 of the 40 AP subjects the College Board offers, per the 2025 - 2026 AP Course Audit: Computer Science Principles, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Precalculus. 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.

What we can't show
- — Low-income students here trail the state average for their group by 19 points in ELA — worth asking how the school is closing that gap.

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. 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.
