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

Credo posts 36.6% exceeding the standard — versus 15.8% 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.

CDE CAASPP 2025

Most rating sites would stop at “63% proficient” and call it done. Credo deserves a closer read. The school sits in Rohnert Park, where one in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 36.6% of students scored in the top band on the state test. The California average is 15.8%.

As a charter, Credo enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

What are Credo High's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 63.4% of students at Credo High met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 36.6% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 26.8% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 36.6% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

How does Credo High rank in California?
Credo High ranks #155 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 93rd 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 Credo High?
15.7% of students at Credo High are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 30.2%. The suspension rate is 2.9%. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
