Cerritos High: High scores, healthy climate, strong attendance. We looked for a catch — we didn't find one.

Cerritos posts 42.3% exceeding the standard — versus 19.8% statewide — with climate numbers better than most. That doesn't make it perfect. It makes it worth a visit to find what numbers can't measure.

Cerritos High scores 78 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 95th percentile of 1,647 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Measures graduation, test performance, college readiness, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →

Strong All-Around — Ask about what we don't score — class size, electives, the feel of a classroom — strong numbers everywhere on paper don't mean every classroom feels the same.

CDE CAASPP 2025

Most rating sites would stop at “72% proficient” and call it done. Cerritos deserves a closer read. Two in five of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Cerritos's low-income kids hit 81.1% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.

Worth a school visit

Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.

  • Ask whether extra support — tutoring, counseling, small groups — reaches kids across income lines, not just the students already ahead.
  • 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is Cerritos High a good high school?

Cerritos High has a Scope Score of 78 out of 100, placing it in the 95th percentile of California high schools and ranked #87 statewide. 42.3% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 22.5 percentage points above the California average of 19.8%. The Scope Score weights 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate (25%), exceeded standard (22%), college/career readiness (20%), met or exceeded (proficient) (18%), 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 Cerritos High's CAASPP test scores?

On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 72.3% of students at Cerritos High met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 42.3% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 30.0% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 42.3% 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. 993 student-subject combinations were assessed.

How does Cerritos High rank in California?

Cerritos High ranks #87 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 95th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), 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 Cerritos High?

11.4% of students at Cerritos High are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 0.9%, 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 Cerritos High compare to other schools in Cerritos?

Cerritos High scores 78/100 (95th percentile) among California high 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 1,996 students. Use the schools in Cerritos page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.

How does Cerritos High serve low-income and underrepresented students?

At Cerritos High in Cerritos, 81.1% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 54.2% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Cerritos High outperforms its district average for low-income students by 26.9 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (50.9% Math proficient); Asian students (92.0% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 30.2 percentage points for disabilities students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 217 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.

What AP courses are offered at Cerritos High?

Cerritos High's teachers are authorized to teach 24 of the 40 AP subjects the College Board offers, per the 2025 - 2026 AP Course Audit: 2-D Art and Design, 3-D Art and Design, Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Chinese Language and Culture, Computer Science Principles, Drawing, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, Human Geography, Physics 1, Physics C: Mechanics, Precalculus, Psychology, Research, Seminar, Spanish Language and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History, World History: Modern. Authorization means the school may teach a course, not that a section is running this year, and it's separate from AP exam pass rates. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.

How many students from Cerritos High go to UC?

In fall 2025, 108 Cerritos High graduates enrolled at University of California campuses, universitywide. That figure can't be split into a per-campus sum — students apply to several UC campuses at once, so campus-level counts don't add up to the universitywide total. UC is one destination among many: this says nothing about graduates who chose a CSU, a private college, a community college, or work, and it is a count, not a rate or a ranking. Data source: University of California Office of the President (UC Information Center), fall 2025 admissions cycle.
