One more thing to know

94 of 553 students missed 10% or more of school days in 2025–26, close to the average Porterville Unified high school.

Each bar is Butterfield Charter’s place among 1,498 California public high schools we score. Our calculation from California Department of Education records, updated October 15, 2026.

How to read these bars, and their sources

A place counts the schools out of 100 with a lower figure. The dashed line is the middle. Test results are from spring 2025, grade 11, the latest year with a high school Scope Score. That year the state called these levels Met or exceeded and Exceeded. Attendance counts students who missed 10% or more of school days; fewer is better, so a higher place means fewer such students.

The count includes Butterfield Charter. Typical means the median: half are higher and half are lower. Schools differ in more than family income, and no score is changed for it.

California is CDE’s statewide math row for each grade, counting every student tested there; the comparisons in the chapters combine these rows for their grades, weighted by students tested (our calculation).

A grade the school doesn't teach has no row. “Suppressed” marks a result CDE blanks because fewer than 11 students tested (CDE’s reporting rule); “none tested” marks a grade CDE lists with no students tested; “not on file” marks a result missing from the records we hold. None of them means zero.

Reading screening in kindergarten through grade 2

California law requires schools to screen kindergartners through second graders for reading difficulties every year, with some exceptions. You get notice at least 15 days before, results within 45 days, and can opt out in writing.

Kindergartners can’t be screened before the 91st school day; transitional kindergarten isn’t covered.

If screening shows your child may be at risk for reading difficulties, the school must provide supports. That result isn’t a diagnosis, and screening can’t be used to delay a special-education evaluation.

Ask how many K–2 students screening found at risk last year, and how many got extra reading help.

Where the money goes

Three actions take 52% of the money. The plan itself puts 89% of it toward staff.

  • Ensuring Social-Emotional Wellness $580,575
  • Fostering Excellence in Learning $491,920
  • Improving ELA Distance from Standard $409,077
  • 16 other actions
Reading, math and catch-up help

6 of the plan’s 19 funded actions name reading, math, catch-up help or English learners in their titles.

  • Reading $409,077
  • Math $131,130
  • English learners $35,770

Largest of these

  • Improving ELA Distance from Standard$409,077
  • Improving Mathematics Distance from Standard$131,130
  • English Learner Language Acquisition Program$10,700
For high-need students

It plans $2.7 million in extra services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. For 2025–26, it planned $2.5 million and estimates it spent $2.1 million, $0.4 million (16%) less than planned (our arithmetic).

Ask: Why did estimated spending on these services come in $0.4 million under the 2025–26 plan, and where does that money go in 2026–27?

What changed

The total is $189,846 (7%) higher than in the 2025–26 plan. The biggest change in dollars is Improving ELA Distance from Standard, which went from $301,170 to $409,077.

Index is where the school's value sits among the California high schools we score, from 0 to 100, where 50 is their average; it is not a percentile. School values are from 2024–25. Chronic absence and suspension are CDE's all-students school rates; the score uses an adjusted version of each that pulls small schools toward the average, so their index can sit nearer 50 than the rate suggests.

This measure uses Prepared students as its denominator, not the whole CCI cohort; it is not an AP exam-taking rate or a count of AP courses offered. That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is the college-readiness factor in the Scope Score (20% of the high school score). The school rate is 15 of 261 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate. The California figure is CDE's statewide CCI student cohort, not an average of SchoolScope's comparable high schools or the SchoolScope school-rank pool.

How the California mean was selected

SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.

These shares are our arithmetic: each group’s dollars divided by the $248,196,905 total of the groups shown, rounded to whole percents by largest remainder so they add up to 100. Dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar, so they can differ from the total by a dollar. SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
