What the number means. California predicts each student’s score from that student’s own English and math scores the year before, based on how students with similar scores did across the state. Zero would mean students here scored as predicted. In English they scored 10 points above that prediction, and in math 27 points above it.
The levels. CDE sorts every school’s result into five levels, from Minimal to Exceptional. The bar under each number shows where this school landed.
Two years at once. For most schools, this one included, CDE’s figure blends the two most recent years of growth, so it moves more slowly than a single year’s scores.
Why our growth can differ. The growth in our Scope Score asks a different question. It doesn’t follow individual students: it compares the latest grade 8 scores here with the school’s grade 6 scores two years earlier, and places that change among California schools at the same level. Children who joined or left the school in between count in ours; the state’s counts only students who took California’s test the year before. So the two can point different ways.

High-school endpoint evidence · Dougherty Valley High
The road from this school ends at Dougherty Valley High. UC records 267 enrollees from Dougherty Valley High for fall 2025. Its AP Course Audit lists 28 authorized AP subjects for 2025 - 2026. Those figures come from dated records — a child starting here today would reach Dougherty Valley High around 2032, and 6 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 89% of Dougherty Valley High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

See full methodology.
Is Gale Ranch Middle getting better or worse?
SchoolScope compares Gale Ranch Middle's grade 6 results in 2024 with its grade 8 results in 2026, using school-level test aggregates. Students are not matched across years, and enrollment changes can affect the comparison. SchoolScope middle standardized cohort gain: approximately 87th percentile on a calibrated reference scale, not an empirical school rank. This score compares school-level grade groups across ELA and Math, not matched students in California's separate growth model. It describes an aggregate change; it cannot establish how individual students progressed or what caused it. See full methodology.
What do attendance and suspension records show for Gale Ranch Middle?
CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 5.7% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 52 chronically absent of 908 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 2.3%; 21 unduplicated suspended students of 912 cumulative enrollment. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.
How does Gale Ranch Middle compare to other schools in San Ramon?
Gale Ranch Middle is in the 98th percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter middle schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 971 students. Use the schools in San Ramon page or the map view to compare nearby middle schools.
What do reported student-group results show at Gale Ranch Middle?
At Gale Ranch Middle in San Ramon, 66% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) in grades 6–8 scored Proficient or Advanced (formerly Met or Exceeded) in reading and writing in spring 2026, compared with 64% across the district and 39% across California for the same group in the same grades. That is 2 points above the district rate for the same group. Also: low-income students, 52% in math; Asian students, 90% in reading and writing. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP, spring 2026. 122 low-income students tested in reading and writing. 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 high school does Gale Ranch Middle feed into?
By the district's published attendance boundaries, Gale Ranch Middle is zoned to Dougherty Valley High. Dougherty Valley High is in the 97th percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter high schools on its 2025 Scope Score. Boundaries come from the district’s published 2026 attendance boundaries; districts redraw them, and they are approximate at the edges. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: district attendance boundaries, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Current 2025–26 grade results appear above. The 2015–2018 rows were checked against original CDE files; independent re-verification of other stored historical years remains incomplete. The 2015 and 2016 percentages are rounded to whole numbers in the source. “Students with scores” is the rate denominator for that grade, subject and year. A missing result is not zero or a matched cohort.

Cohort growth
School-level grade groups from different years, not matched children, in scale-score points. That’s the measurement the Scope Score weights.
Each year names its school year end (2026 = 2025–26). “Students with scores” is the subject-specific rate denominator; ELA and Math counts must not be added. The 2015–2018 rows were checked against CDE’s original research files. The 2015 and 2016 files report whole percentages; later rows round to one decimal here. Older stored rows from other years still need independent original-file re-verification. A dash is unavailable, not zero. Before spring 2026, Advanced was reported as Exceeded and proficient or advanced as met or exceeded.

The Absent and Susp columns are SchoolScope model-adjusted scoring inputs, rather than raw CDE-reported school rates.
Grade gap = this year's grade 6 vs grade 8 result, two different sets of students, not a trend for any one child — it is not the measurement the Scope Score's growth dimension uses. See §01 above and /methodology#verdicts for the school's actual scored (cohort) growth.

CDE reports scale-score points versus its growth-model prediction — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a valid growth score. SchoolScope uses that threshold for the shorter narrative view; the reported values stay visible here. “Not categorised” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. Long-Term English Learner counts cover grades 6-8 only (CDE), so that row is not comparable to the All Students row. CDE labels at least one imported estimate here WEIGHTED; that describes its aggregation method, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points versus its prediction for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California middle school records, the median ELA estimate is −2 and the middle half fall between −10 and +5 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read its position among reported schools, not the sign. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8 and is not part of the Scope Score.

How the California mean was selected
SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.
Selected General Fund operating costs · FY 2024–25 · SchoolScope calculation
SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
