State support

The state hasn’t placed California Republic Leadership Academy Yorba Linda in a support program. Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source 

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.

What its goals measure

Read these state results for this school as context for the goals they measure; results alone can’t show what the plan caused.

The test rows are schoolwide results for every grade the school tests; the source doesn’t list which grades. The headline at the top of this page covers grades 3 and 4 only: 50% in English and 40% in math, spring 2026.

Figures from CDE’s state test, chronic absence and suspension files. Test figures cover every grade the school tests (California tests grades 3–8 and 11), so they differ from a profile’s rated grades. Chronically absent means a student missed 10% or more of school days.
