Common questions

Is Cesar E. Chavez High a good high school?
Cesar E. Chavez High is in the 28th percentile (Developing) of California continuation high schools. Its Scope Score is 19 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. This is a rank inside that group, not a statewide one: SchoolScope compares continuation high schools with one another rather than with California's comprehensive campuses, so it cannot be read against a statewide figure. Why these schools are ranked separately. In 2024–25, 75% of the class graduated in four years (184 of 244); across California’s continuation high schools, 75%. The 2025 Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate (ACGR), 2024–25, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Cesar E. Chavez High's CAASPP test scores?
In spring 2026, 7% of students tested in grade 11 met or exceeded the English standard and 0% the math standard; 0% and 0% exceeded it. For the same grades, the class's combined rate was 13% and 4% met or exceeded, 2% and 1% exceeded. 107 students were tested in English and 110 in math (CDE CAASPP 2025–26; the class rate combines its schools' grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).
How does Cesar E. Chavez High rank among California continuation high schools?
Cesar E. Chavez High is in the 28th percentile of 277 California continuation high schools (Developing, 2025; within-class comparison). Cesar E. Chavez High ranks #197 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. This is a within-class rank, not a statewide rank. How peer classes work. The 2025 Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See full methodology.
What do attendance and suspension records show for Cesar E. Chavez High?
CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 81.4% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 367 chronically absent of 451 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 9.9%; 48 unduplicated suspended students of 486 cumulative enrollment. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.
How does Cesar E. Chavez High compare to other schools in Santa Ana?
Cesar E. Chavez High is in the 28th percentile (Developing) of California continuation high schools. This is a rank inside that group, not a statewide one: SchoolScope compares continuation high schools with one another rather than with California's comprehensive campuses, so it cannot be read against a statewide figure. Why these schools are ranked separately. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 350 students. Use the schools in Santa Ana page or the map view to compare nearby high schools.
What do reported student-group results show at Cesar E. Chavez High?
At Cesar E. Chavez High in Santa Ana, 6% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) in grade 11 scored Proficient or Advanced (formerly Met or Exceeded) in reading and writing in spring 2026, compared with 44% across the district and 49% across California for the same group in the same grades. That is 38 points below the district rate for the same group. Also: low-income students, 0% in math; Hispanic students, 7% in reading and writing. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP, spring 2026. 95 low-income students tested in reading and writing. 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.

These are retrospective calculations using earlier test results and current school levels and comparison classes. Each year's rank and percentile use that year's measured school group. They do not form a trend across different score models.

The legacy high-school model uses 2024–25 graduation records. Its readiness input uses the 2025 AP pathway share among Prepared students when available; otherwise it uses 2024–25 A-G completion. A reported zero remains zero. These inputs do not describe graduation or readiness in the earlier assessment years. The newer 2026 model instead uses CDE's overall Prepared rate.

Historical ELPAC inputs are absent from these calculations. Missing factor weights are redistributed proportionally among available factors. Adjusted climate values are SchoolScope scoring inputs, distinct from the state’s reported rates.

CDE reported all-students (TA) school rates for 2025 and 2026; the change is 2026 minus 2025 in percentage points.

Each year names its school year end (2026 = 2025–26). “Students with scores” is the subject-specific rate denominator; ELA and Math counts must not be added. The 2015–2018 rows were checked against CDE’s original research files. The 2015 and 2016 files report whole percentages; later rows round to one decimal here. Older stored rows from other years still need independent original-file re-verification. A dash is unavailable, not zero. Before spring 2026, Advanced was reported as Exceeded and proficient or advanced as met or exceeded.

These source periods and populations differ: graduation uses an adjusted cohort, while A-G completion and college-going use separately reported groups. The rates are shown individually, without a shared performance tier.

What we can't show
  • — This school's rank and percentile are computed against California continuation high schools, not California's comprehensive campuses — see the Enrollment Axiom at /methodology#peer-class.
  • — Students classified as socioeconomically disadvantaged here trail the state average for their group by 43 points in ELA in grade 11 — worth asking how the school is closing that gap.

Participation counts and comparisons use reported male and female categories in both course and enrollment records.

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.

Selected General Fund operating costs · FY 2024–25 · SchoolScope calculation
Instruction 58%Instruction support 14%Student services 11%Administration 7%Buildings & maintenance 9%Other 1%

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.
