Slipped from the 67th to the 58th percentile since 2019.

A missing score is not a judgment, and it is not a claim about what the state published. It means the composite a Scope Score, band and rank are all built from isn't on file for this school this year — the honest move is to say so, and to show whatever results are on file rather than guess at a number.

This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 41% meet the standard today, versus 56% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.

Plan your next step

What should I do next?

Worth a school visit

With no score to read, a visit does the heavy lifting: ask about class sizes, teacher tenure, and where last year's students went next.

  • Ask about typical class sizes and the student-teacher ratio.
  • Ask how long teachers have stayed at the school.
  • Ask where recent graduates or transfers went next.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom, and watch how a lesson actually runs.

Use the published evidence to prepare questions, then verify fit and access with the school.
