Over time

Have results changed?

There’s no spring 2025 result to compare with spring 2026: fewer than 11 students tested here that year, so CDE withheld it.

The hatched block marks years with no comparable state test results. Each spring tests a different group of students. Between 11 and 20 students were tested here each year in each subject. With 11 students, one student is 9 points, so each year is a dot and no line joins them. Source: California Department of Education, state tests (CAASPP).

Each year’s results

The top two levels were called Met or Exceeded before 2026 and are called Proficient or Advanced now.
