George H. Flamson Middle: The state doesn't publish enough data to score this school fairly.

George H. Flamson is a middle school in Paso Robles. The state doesn't publish enough data to score it fairly — so we won't. Here's what we can show.

No Scope Score available

California doesn't publicly report per-grade test results when fewer than 11 students are tested in a grade — a privacy protection for small schools. We can't compute a Scope Score without that data.

The seven-year arc

Percentile among 2,238 middle schools statewide

Climbed from the 49th to the 62nd percentile since 2019 — past roughly 200 middle schools.

Worth a school visit

With little published data, 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.
