Dozier-Libbey Medical High scores 60 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 84th percentile of 2,160 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

🌱 Building Momentum — This label means the data doesn't clearly sort the school one way or the other — ask what the school is proud of, and what it's working on.

Most rating sites would stop at “49% proficient” and call it done. Dozier-Libbey Medical deserves a closer read. The school sits in Antioch, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Dozier-Libbey Medical's low-income kids hit 70.3% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.

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 whether extra support — tutoring, counseling, small groups — reaches kids across income lines, not just the students already ahead.
  • 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.

UC publishes this trend back to 1994 — no other destination has a comparable multi-year record

UC is one road of many — the full destination mix for the class of 2023 is below. And who applied isn't who the school taught: the ratio between the two reflects the self-selected pool of students who chose to apply, not what happened in the classroom. By the state's 2023 count, 83% of this class's predecessors enrolled in college somewhere within a year. More of the class of 2023 enrolled at community colleges (76) than at UC (15).

Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.

What are Dozier-Libbey Medical High's CAASPP test scores?

On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 48.9% of students at Dozier-Libbey Medical High met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 27.2% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 21.7% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 27.2% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it reveals whether a school's curriculum challenges students beyond minimum proficiency or paces toward it. 276 student-subject combinations were assessed.

How does Dozier-Libbey Medical High rank in California?

Dozier-Libbey Medical High ranks #339 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 84th 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 Dozier-Libbey Medical High?

23.0% of students at Dozier-Libbey Medical 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 4.2%. 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 Dozier-Libbey Medical High compare to other schools in Antioch?

Dozier-Libbey Medical High scores 60/100 (84th 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 681 students. Use the schools in Antioch page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.

How does Dozier-Libbey Medical High serve low-income and underrepresented students?

At Dozier-Libbey Medical High in Antioch, 70.3% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 24.7% district-wide and 38.2% statewide.

Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 118 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.

What AP courses are offered at Dozier-Libbey Medical High?

Dozier-Libbey Medical High's teachers are authorized to teach 8 of the 40 AP subjects the College Board offers, per the 2025 - 2026 AP Course Audit: Biology, Computer Science A, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Psychology, Statistics, United States History, World History: Modern. Authorization means the school may teach a course, not that a section is running this year, and it's separate from AP exam pass rates. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.

How many students from Dozier-Libbey Medical High go to UC?

In fall 2025, 17 Dozier-Libbey Medical High graduates enrolled at University of California campuses, universitywide. That figure can't be split into a per-campus sum — students apply to several UC campuses at once, so campus-level counts don't add up to the universitywide total. UC is one destination among many: this says nothing about graduates who chose a CSU, a private college, a community college, or work, and it is a count, not a rate or a ranking.
