The hatched block marks years with no comparable state test results. Each spring tests a different group of students. Between 11 and 35 students were tested here each year in each subject. With 11 students, one student is 9 points, so each year is a dot and no line joins them. Source: California Department of Education, state tests (CAASPP).

Figures from CDE’s state test, chronic absence and suspension files. Test figures cover every grade the school tests (California tests grades 3–8 and 11), so they differ from a profile’s rated grades. Chronically absent means a student missed 10% or more of school days.
We calculate each action’s share of the plan by dividing its planned amount by the total of the plan’s funded actions ($1.1 million).

Come Back Butte Charter is ranked only among California alternative high schools, so this table sets it beside no other school; the chapters above compare each figure with that class. School values are from 2024–25. Chronic absence and suspension are CDE's all-students school rates; the score uses an adjusted version of each that pulls small schools toward the average. The weights above add to 95%: English learners reaching the top level of the state’s English test has no value for this school, so its 5% weight is shared out among the measures above.
The 2024–25 Scope Score, in the current-formula row below, uses the state’s college-or-career readiness measure, 2024–25. No verified earlier Scope Scores are available here.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is the college-readiness factor in the Scope Score (20% of the high school score). The school rate is 0 of 67 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate. The school CCI rate has its own student cohort and source year.
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.
