Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025
Has stayed near the 12th percentile since 2019.
Most rating sites would stop at “19% proficient” and call it done. George Washington Preparatory deserves a closer read. Nearly all of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 0.5% suspension rate — versus 3.3% statewide.

What should I do next?
Worth a school visit
Ask what changed in the last two years, and what the school is asking families for. Growth shows up in these numbers a year or two after it shows up in classrooms.
- Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside it.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
- Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
- Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
- Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is George Washington Preparatory High a good high school?
George Washington Preparatory High has a Scope Score of 39 out of 100, placing it in the 12th percentile of California high schools and ranked #1,448 statewide. 8.2% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 11.7 percentage points below the California average of 19.8%. The Scope Score weights 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate (25%), exceeded standard (22%), college/career readiness (20%), met or exceeded (proficient) (18%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are George Washington Preparatory High's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 19.1% of students at George Washington Preparatory High met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 8.2% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 11.0% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 8.2% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 319 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does George Washington Preparatory High rank in California?
George Washington Preparatory High ranks #1,448 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 12th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at George Washington Preparatory High?
47.2% of students at George Washington Preparatory High are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 0.5%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does George Washington Preparatory High compare to other schools in Los Angeles?
George Washington Preparatory High scores 39/100 (12th percentile) among California high schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 738 students. Use the schools in Los Angeles page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.
How does George Washington Preparatory High serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At George Washington Preparatory High in Los Angeles, 19.9% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 40.9% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. George Washington Preparatory High trails its district average for low-income students by 21.1 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (17.7% Math proficient); Hispanic students (21.7% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 16.3 percentage points for disabilities students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 146 students tested. 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 AP courses are offered at George Washington Preparatory High?
George Washington Preparatory High's teachers are authorized to teach 18 of the 40 AP subjects the College Board offers, per the 2025 - 2026 AP Course Audit: 2-D Art and Design, African American Studies, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science A, Computer Science Principles, Drawing, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Human Geography, Precalculus, Research, Seminar, Spanish Language and Culture, Spanish Literature and Culture, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History, World History: Modern. Authorization means the school may teach a course, not that a section is running this year, and it's separate from AP exam pass rates. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.
How many students from George Washington Preparatory High go to UC?
In fall 2025, 10 George Washington Preparatory High graduates enrolled at University of California campuses, universitywide. That figure can't be split into a per-campus sum — students apply to several UC campuses at once, so campus-level counts don't add up to the universitywide total. UC is one destination among many: this says nothing about graduates who chose a CSU, a private college, a community college, or work, and it is a count, not a rate or a ranking. Data source: University of California Office of the President (UC Information Center), fall 2025 admissions cycle.

George Washington Preparatory posts low test scores — and suspensions run below the state rate (0.5% vs 3.3%). If this is your zoned school, the numbers below are where to start a conversation, not where to end one.
Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.
