California’s growth results and student groups
State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25
California's own growth model places it near the 5th percentile of 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 below the middle of California middle schools in reading and math together. 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.

Low-income students here meet the ELA standard behind the same group statewide.
At Clarksburg Middle in Clarksburg, 11.5% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 30.7% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Clarksburg Middle trails its district average for low-income students by 19.2 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (8.0% Math proficient); Hispanic students (11.6% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 16.7 percentage points for english learner students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 87 students tested.
Low-income students here trail the state average for their group by 27 points in ELA — worth asking how the school is closing that gap.

The state's growth model, by student group
California follows these children individually and predicts each one's score from their own prior year. Each row is read against the same group at a typical California middle school — not against zero, and not against this school's all-students figure, because the state's expectation already differs by group.

— 5 more groups are reported here with between 11 and 29 students. We hold those back on purpose: at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own, and a quarter of such groups land past the state's top or bottom cut point by chance alone. They are listed with their student counts in the data appendix. — A group not listed at all had fewer than 11 students with a growth score, so California published nothing for it here. That is a privacy protection, not a judgment about those students. — Context only. None of this enters the Scope Score.

It spends $17,018 per student, more than the California average.
Context — never part of the Scope Score
These measure different things: this figure is spending attributed to this campus, while district-wide figures also include central administration, districtwide programs, and the state's pension contributions made on the district's behalf — costs that never get assigned to a single school. The district number runs higher at nearly every school, not just this one.
$114 per student arrives as federal Title funding — a measure of concentrated need, not school quality.

Worth knowing
At 171 students, this school is much smaller than the typical California middle school (≈860).
On the state's science test (CAST), 5% 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.

The road from this school ends at Delta High, which sent 4 graduates to UC campuses last fall and teaches 9 AP subjects. Those numbers describe past cohorts — a child starting here today would reach Delta High around 2031, and 6 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 67% of Delta High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

Plan your next step
What should I do next?
Worth a school visit
With no score to read, a visit does the heavy lifting: ask about class sizes, teacher tenure, and where last year's students went next.
- Ask about typical class sizes and the student-teacher ratio.
- Ask how long teachers have stayed at the school.
- Ask where recent graduates or transfers went next.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom, and watch how a lesson actually runs.
Use the published evidence to prepare questions, then verify fit and access with the school.
