Annual results and the full academic record
Is it getting better · CAASPP 2022 to 2025
Climbed from the 55th to the 78th percentile since 2022 — past roughly 400 high schools.
Most rating sites would stop at “67% proficient” and call it done. Davis School for Independent Study deserves a closer read. One in four of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 50.0% of students scored in the top band on the state test. The California average is 19.8%.

California’s growth results and student groups
State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25
California's own growth model places it near the 90th percentile of high 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 above the middle of California high 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 high school lands at −3 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −13 and +5 — 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.

Kids here miss more school, and get suspended less, than the state average.
Grades 9–12 students miss school at roughly twice the rate of Grades 4–6 students (42.6% vs 19.4%). Chronic absence here concentrates in the upper grades.
32.3% of students miss a month or more of school, versus 23.1% statewide. High absence often tracks community stress — a school visit will tell you more than this number.

Worth knowing
At 124 students, this school is much smaller than the typical California high school (≈1450).
On the state's science test (CAST), 50% 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.

Worth a school visit
Ask how the school challenges kids who clear the standard early. The gap between meeting and exceeding is where pacing shows.
- Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside it.
- Ask what share of students complete the full college-prep course sequence, and who gets steered into it.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
- Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
- Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
- Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Davis School for Independent Study a good high school?
Davis School for Independent Study has a Scope Score of 64 out of 100, placing it in the 78th percentile of California high schools and ranked #360 statewide. 50.0% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 30.2 percentage points above the California average of 19.8%. The Scope Score weights 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate (25%), exceeded standard (22%), college/career readiness (20%), met or exceeded (proficient) (18%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Davis School for Independent Study's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 66.7% of students at Davis School for Independent Study met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 50.0% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 16.7% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 50.0% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 24 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Davis School for Independent Study rank in California?
Davis School for Independent Study ranks #360 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 78th 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 Davis School for Independent Study?
32.3% of students at Davis School for Independent Study are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 2.0%. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Davis School for Independent Study compare to other schools in Davis?
Davis School for Independent Study scores 64/100 (78th percentile) among California high schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 124 students. Use the schools in Davis page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.
How many students from Davis School for Independent Study go to UC?
UC masks this number for Davis School for Independent Study — fewer than three enrollees in fall 2025 — a privacy protection for small cohorts, not a signal about the school. Data source: University of California Office of the President (UC Information Center).

Davis School for Independent Study: reading the evidence
Davis School for Independent Study posts 67% meeting the standard, and 50.0% going well past it. Most kids here keep up. Fewer get pushed further. Ask the school what it does for a child who already finds the work easy.
Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.
Ask what the school does for a kid who's already meeting the standard with room to spare — steady proficiency across the board doesn't tell you whether the strongest kids are being pushed further.

‹n = UC masks counts below n · a missing year means zero or masked — never assume zero · GPA cells blank for years with more than one contributing CEEB code (a summed GPA would be fabricated math) · GPAs live here and nowhere else on this page · Applied/Admitted/Enrolled reflect who applied, not what the school taught — no admit rate is computed or implied by this table.

10California growth model, by student group2025 · scale-score points vs the state's prediction · shown, never scored
ShowHide table 10 — California growth model, by student group
| Group | Reading | n | CDE band | Math | n | CDE band |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All Students | +13 | 13 | Accelerated | +22 | 15 | Exceptional |
| English Only | +18 | 11 | not categorised | +24 | 13 | not categorised |
Whole scale-score points above or below what CDE's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores — not a percentage, not a percentile. Statewide a typical school lands near +1 with a spread of about 13 points either side, so read a figure against its group's own typical value, not against zero. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a growth score — published by CDE, held back from the narrative sections above because at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own. “Not categorised” is CDE assigning no band — English Only, Recently Reclassified, and English Learners Only receive a value and no band, for every school in the state. It is not a missing number. Most figures blend two consecutive years, so adjacent published years share input data and no trend line can honestly be drawn across them. A group absent from this table had fewer than 11 students with a growth score and was never published. Grades 4-8 only. None of this enters the Scope Score — it is more strongly correlated with school demographics than our own growth measure, and one published year is not enough to test its reliability.
