CDE CAASPP 2025

Most rating sites would stop at “39% proficient” and call it done. Century Community Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Inglewood, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 48.8% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.

As a charter, Century Community Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
