ranked #853 statewide · #1 of 9 in Morgan Hill Unified
Charter School of Morgan Hill scores 62 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 85th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “65% proficient” and call it done. Charter School of Morgan Hill deserves a closer read. It sits at the 85th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.
The headline number: +2.4pp separates this year's grade 3 from its grade 5. The state average rises 4.5pp over the same span. Following the same students from 2023 G3 → 2025 G5 points the same way.
As a charter, Charter School of Morgan Hill enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
