Climbed from the 69th to the 79th percentile since 2022 — past roughly 200 middle schools.

Most rating sites would stop at “51% proficient” and call it done. Century Academy deserves a closer read. It sits at the 79th percentile of 2,177 California middle schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.

California’s growth results and student groups
State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25

California's own growth model splits here — the 57th percentile in reading against the 98th in math, among middle 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 well above the middle of California middle schools in reading, and the 98th 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 middle school lands at −1 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −8 and +6 — 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.

Attendance & discipline · 2024–25

Kids here miss more school, and get suspended less, than the state average.

Grades 9–12 students miss school at roughly twice the rate of Grades 4–6 students (29.9% vs 13.6%). Chronic absence here concentrates in the upper grades.

24.2% of students miss a month or more of school, versus 18.1% statewide. High absence often tracks community stress — the data can't say why.

Worth knowing

At 237 students, this school is much smaller than the typical California middle school (≈860).

Transitional kindergarten is offered here — confirmed by actual Census Day enrollment, not just the listed grade span.

On the state's science test (CAST), 35% met or exceeded the standard — science is tested in grades 5 and 8 and once in high school, and it never enters the Scope Score.

Worth a school visit

Ask how the school challenges kids who clear the standard early. The gap between meeting and exceeding is where pacing shows.

  • Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside 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.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Century Academy a good middle school?
Century Academy has a Scope Score of 51 out of 100, placing it in the 79th percentile of California middle schools and ranked #466 statewide. 27.2% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 10.0 percentage points above the California average of 17.2%. The Scope Score weights 6 dimensions for middle schools: exceeded standard (42%), met or exceeded (proficient) (23%), grade 6-to-8 growth (20%), 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 Century Academy's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 51.1% of students at Century Academy met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 27.2% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 23.9% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 27.2% 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. 76 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Century Academy rank in California?
Century Academy ranks #466 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 79th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 6 to grade 8 growth), 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 Century Academy?
24.2% of students at Century Academy are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 18.1%. The suspension rate is 1.2%, 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 Century Academy compare to other schools in Thousand Oaks?
Century Academy scores 51/100 (79th percentile) among California middle 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 237 students. Use the schools in Thousand Oaks page or the map view to compare all middle schools nearby.
How does Century Academy serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Century Academy in Thousand Oaks, 54.1% of white students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 74.2% district-wide and 61.8% statewide. Century Academy trails its district average for white students by 20.1 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: White students (45.5% Math proficient). Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 37 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.

Use the published evidence to prepare questions, then verify fit and access with the school.

A closer look at the evidence

Century Academy: reading the evidence

Century Academy posts 51% meeting the standard, and 27.2% going well past it. Most kids here keep up. Fewer get pushed further. Ask the school what it does for a child who already finds the work easy.

Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.

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.

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.
