Deep Creek Academy and Farmersville Independent Study share this address in the state’s school directory. The California School Campus Database maps the grounds as one campus. Which buildings each school uses here isn’t mapped.

The California School Campus Database records George L. Snowden Elementary on this campus too; it gives each school the whole campus, so this drawing doesn’t show which buildings each uses.

Drawn from OpenStreetMap, inside the campus outline from the California School Campus Database (2025). Volunteers map it, so a new building may be missing. Buildings with no mapped height are drawn one storey high.

A picture of the campus, not an attendance boundary or a rating.

Schools maintain a closed campus policy. For students’ safety, visitors may enter a campus only with the school’s official permission; this drawing implies no permission to enter.

Comparison
Continuation high schools with a graduation record: graduates divided by students who started 9th grade together, across 379 public schools’ rows (our combination, not CDE’s published state rate; 21,329 of 28,373). It counts every school with a graduation record, so it can differ from the number of schools we rank.

What you can do

Who can act on Deep Creek Academy’s results?

The state has Deep Creek Academy in targeted support; Farmersville Unified’s board decides its plan.

How to take part

  1. Watch the board’s agenda: the hearing is posted at least 72 hours ahead.
  2. Send written comments on the actions and spending the plan proposes.
  3. Raise questions through the district’s parent advisory committee; the superintendent must answer its comments in writing.
  4. Read the midyear report, due by February 28.

What has the state flagged?

The state named it because results were low for Hispanic or Latino students and low-income students. This support comes with a school improvement plan, which must use approaches with evidence behind them. Ask the principal to see the school improvement plan.

Deep Creek Academy is ranked only among California continuation 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.

Scope Score by year2021–22 to 2024–25 · each year’s inputs, and the score for each year we could verify

The 2024–25 Scope Score, in the current-formula row below, uses the state’s college-or-career readiness measure, 2024–25. Earlier scores are shown under the earlier formula. The two formulas differ, so their scores do not form one trend.

Scope Score each year it was calculated

School yearScope ScorePercentileRankComparison group
2021–222876#78California continuation high schools · 335 schools · earlier formula
2022–232978#73California continuation high schools · 346 schools · earlier formula
2023–242877#74California continuation high schools · 332 schools · earlier formula
2024–25—75#68California continuation high schools · 277 schools · current formula

Earlier-formula years are retrospective calculations using earlier test results and current school levels and comparison classes. Each year's rank and percentile use that year's measured school group. They do not form a trend across different score formulas.

The earlier high-school formula uses 2024–25 graduation records. Its readiness input uses the 2024–25 AP pathway share among Prepared students when available; otherwise it uses 2024–25 A-G completion. A reported zero remains zero. These inputs do not describe graduation or readiness in the earlier assessment years. The current formula instead uses the state’s college-or-career readiness measure (its overall Prepared rate).

Historical ELPAC inputs are absent from these calculations. Missing factor weights are redistributed proportionally among available factors. Adjusted climate values are SchoolScope scoring inputs, distinct from the state’s reported rates.

Share among Prepared students: not calculable, because no student here was classified Prepared.

That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.

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 34 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate. The school CCI rate has its own student cohort and source year.

How the California mean was selected

SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.
