Each gap is to the same group, grades and subject: in Hawthorne, and across California. ■ Green: a group that is behind statewide does much better here, by 10 points or more and more than twice the margin of error.

Black or African American students: fewer than 30 tested here. No published rate here for Asian, Filipino, White, American Indian or Alaska Native, Pacific Islander, homeless and military-family students, students of two or more races, English learners, students with disabilities and foster youth. That can reflect privacy rules or small numbers; it isn’t evidence of a gap. This table covers groups by income, race or ethnicity, language and disability; girls and boys aren’t split out.

Low-income and Hispanic or Latino students here did far better than the same groups statewide.

Common questions

Is Hawthorne Math and Science Academy a good high school?
Hawthorne Math and Science Academy is in the 89th percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. Its Scope Score is 75 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In spring 2026, on California's state tests (CAASPP), Hawthorne Math and Science Academy was well above California in English and math: 82% and 47% met or exceeded the standard in grade 11, against 57% and 32% statewide. The Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2026, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Hawthorne Math and Science Academy's CAASPP test scores?
In spring 2026, 82% of students tested in grade 11 met or exceeded the English standard and 47% the math standard; 47% and 20% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 57% and 32% met or exceeded, 27% and 16% exceeded. 131 students were tested in English and 131 in math (CDE CAASPP 2025–26; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).
How does Hawthorne Math and Science Academy rank in California?
Hawthorne Math and Science Academy is in the 89th percentile of 1,500 California comprehensive high schools (Strong, 2025). Hawthorne Math and Science Academy ranks #163 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2026 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 do attendance and suspension records show for Hawthorne Math and Science Academy?
CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 9.2% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 53 chronically absent of 573 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 0.5%; 3 unduplicated suspended students of 577 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 10.5%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 0.8%. These are model inputs, not CDE's reported rates. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.
How does Hawthorne Math and Science Academy compare to other schools in Hawthorne?
Hawthorne Math and Science Academy is in the 89th percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter high 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 567 students. Use the schools in Hawthorne page or the map view to compare nearby high schools.
What do reported student-group results show at Hawthorne Math and Science Academy?
At Hawthorne Math and Science Academy in Hawthorne, 81.6% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2026 for reported grade 11, compared to 81.6% district-wide for those same grades and 49.1% statewide for those same grades. Hawthorne Math and Science Academy’s rate for low-income students matches its district average in ELA. Other subgroups: low-income students (44.7% met or exceeded the Math standard); Hispanic students (86.2% met or exceeded the ELA standard). Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2025-26. 114 ELA grade test records. 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 Hawthorne Math and Science Academy?
Hawthorne Math and Science Academy had own-school AP authorizations for 12 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Computer Science Principles, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, Precalculus, Spanish Language and Culture, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History, World History: Modern. The audit records authorization, not whether a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.
How many students from Hawthorne Math and Science Academy go to UC?
In fall 2025, 20 Hawthorne Math and Science Academy 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.

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.

That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is this version's 20% high-school college-readiness score factor. The school rate is 103 of 132 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate. The California figure is CDE's statewide CCI student cohort, not an average of SchoolScope's comparable high schools or the SchoolScope school-rank pool.

CDE reported all-students (TA) school rates for 2025 and 2026; the change is 2026 minus 2025 in percentage points.

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.

Source: UC admissions by source school. Dated fall first-year UC applicants, admitted students, and enrollees. GPA is each group's mean weighted, capped high-school GPA for 10th/11th-grade college-preparatory courses. SchoolScope leaves GPA unavailable when several CEEB codes contribute rather than combining their means. Masked means no numeric bound; — means unavailable, and a reported zero remains zero. For missing or masked counts, never assume zero or a positive hidden value. A + marks a partial SchoolScope sum of observed counts, not a complete total; missing contributions may be zero. No admit rate is computed here. Complete, matching counts can support a historical descriptive rate, but do not establish a school's effect or predict individual chances. Series shown from 2014.

ShowHide 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
Instruction 62%Instruction support 11%Student services 10%Administration 6%Buildings & maintenance 11%

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.
