Educational Partnership High scores 18 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 8th percentile of 2,160 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →

🌱 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 “17% proficient” and call it done. Educational Partnership deserves a closer read. The school sits in Long Beach, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 0.3% suspension rate — versus 3.6% statewide.

Worth a school visit

Ask what changed in the last two years, and what the school is asking families for. Growth shows up in these numbers a year or two after it shows up in classrooms.

  • Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside 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.

Worth Knowing

At 331 students, this school is much smaller than the typical California high school (≈1450).

On the state's science test (CAST), 9% 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.

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

What are Educational Partnership High's CAASPP test scores?

On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 17.1% of students at Educational Partnership High met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 3.8% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 13.3% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 3.8% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

How does Educational Partnership High rank in California?

Educational Partnership High ranks #1,988 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 8th 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 Educational Partnership High?

88.4% of students at Educational Partnership High are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 30.2%. The suspension rate is 0.3%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.

Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
