Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025

Has stayed near the 6th percentile since 2019.

A missing score is not a judgment, and it is not a claim about what the state published. It means the composite a Scope Score, band and rank are all built from isn't on file for this school this year — the honest move is to say so, and to show whatever results are on file rather than guess at a number.

Proficiency here is back to its pre-pandemic level — 14% meet the standard, about where the school stood in 2019.

Worth knowing

At 31 students, this school is much smaller than the typical California high school (≈1450).

On the state's science test (CAST), 17% 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.

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.

Crossroads High (Alternative): reading the evidence

Crossroads High (Alternative) is a high school in Newark. We publish no Scope Score, band or rank for it this year — the composite they are all built from isn't on file. Here's what we can show.

Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.
