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 2026, grades 3–5. Progress is the state’s measure of how the same students’ scores changed against the score it expected, 2025. Attendance counts students who missed 10% or more of school days; fewer is better, so a higher place means fewer such students.

In English, yes. In math, about the same. In 2025, students here in grades 4–8 scored 8 points higher in English than California students who had the same score the year before. The state calls that Accelerated. In math, they scored 4 points lower, which the state calls Average.

How the state’s growth measure works

The state calls this comparison an expected score. It sets one for each student from that student’s own score the year before.

California uses each student’s English and math scores from the year before to set an expected score, based on how students with similar earlier scores did across the state. Zero would mean students here scored as expected. In English they scored 8 points above that expected score, and in math 4 points below it. Unlike the growth in our Scope Score, it follows the same students from one year to the next.

The state sorts every school’s growth result into five growth levels, from Minimal to Exceptional.

Here, as at most schools, the state’s figure blends the two most recent years, so it moves more slowly than one year’s scores.

Our Scope Score measures growth another way. It compares the latest grade 5 scores here with the school’s grade 3 scores two years earlier (partly different children), then places that change among California schools at the same level. The state’s measure counts only students who took California’s test the year before, so the two can point different ways.

SchoolScope elementary standardized cohort gain: approximately 85th percentile on a calibrated reference scale, not an empirical school rank. This score compares school-level grade groups across English and math, not matched students in California's separate growth model.

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.

Short answers to 8 common questions

How do I get in?

Camino Nuevo Charter Academy #2 is an independent charter, so you apply on its own application, not through LAUSD Choices. It sets its own deadline and lottery date. Find both on the school’s site or ask the office. See the details ↓

Is Camino Nuevo Charter Academy #2 a good school?

Camino Nuevo Charter Academy #2 has a Scope Score of 73. It scored higher than 37 in 100 of California’s 5,726 scored public elementary schools (Developing, 37th percentile, spring 2026).

  • Grades 6–8: higher than 18 in 100 California middle schools we score (18th percentile, Needs Support, spring 2026)

How often do students miss school or get suspended?

In 2025–26, 24 in 100 students missed 10% or more of school days, against 20 in 100 at the average Los Angeles Unified elementary school. 0.4% of students (3 of 737) were suspended at least once in 2025–26, against 1.6% at the average California elementary school. See the details ↓

Did students here score higher than students who started at the same place?

In English, yes. In math, about the same. In 2025, students here in grades 4–8 scored 8 points higher in English than California students who had the same score the year before. The state calls that Accelerated. In math, they scored 4 points lower, which the state calls Average.

  • Included in this measure: 379 students

How do kids like mine do here?

In spring 2026, 30% of low-income students in grades 3–8 at Camino Nuevo Charter Academy #2 in Los Angeles scored Proficient or Advanced in English, against 37% for the same group across California. See the details ↓

What does its own plan pay for?

In its 2026–27 plan, $13.5 million is planned for 11 funded actions in 3 goals. That’s 89% of its $15.1 million general fund budget. These are planned amounts; the charter school reports what it spent in a later plan.

Where does it lead after 8th grade?

Camino Nuevo Charter Academy #2 is an independent charter, so no next school is assigned from it by an attendance boundary. Families choose the next school and apply or register there. See the details ↓

Where the money goes

Three actions take 62% of the money. The plan itself puts 61% of it toward staff.

  • High-Quality Teachers and School Leadership $3.7 million
  • Special Education Program $2.9 million
  • Strong After-School Program $1.8 million
  • 8 other actions
Reading, math and catch-up help

1 of the plan’s 11 funded actions names reading, math, catch-up help or English learners in its title.

  • English learners $128,247

Largest of these

  • ELD Program$128,247
For high-need students

It plans $3.3 million in extra services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. For 2025–26, it planned $3.7 million and estimates it spent $3.1 million, $0.6 million (17%) less than planned (our arithmetic).

Ask: Why did estimated spending on these services come in $0.6 million under the 2025–26 plan, and where does that money go in 2026–27?

What changed

The total is $176,108 (1%) higher than in the 2025–26 plan. The biggest change in dollars is High-Quality Teachers and School Leadership, which went from $3.2 million to $3.7 million.

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 3–5 only: 29% in English and 22% 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.

Index is where the school's value sits among the California elementary schools we score, from 0 to 100, where 50 is their average; it is not a percentile. School values are from 2025–26. 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. Growth is the change between the school's earlier and later grade-level groups, in scale-score points; it does not follow the same students.

CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. “Not categorized” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. Long-term English learner counts cover grades 6–8 only (CDE’s rule), so that row is not comparable to the All students row. At least one estimate here is a CDE weighted estimate; that describes how CDE combines years, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California elementary school records, the median English estimate is +2 and the middle half fall between −5 and +9 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read the figure against it, not its sign alone. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8, and it is not part of the Scope Score.

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 $10,915,063,400 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.
