El Camino Real Charter High scores 58 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 81st 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 →
Most rating sites would stop at “52% proficient” and call it done. El Camino Real Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Woodland Hills, where one in three students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 62.2% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.
As a charter, El Camino Real Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
