How to take part

State support
The state hasn’t placed Hermosa View in a support program. Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source
Reading screening in kindergarten through grade 2
California law requires schools to screen kindergartners through second graders for reading difficulties every year, with some exceptions. You get notice at least 15 days before, results within 45 days, and can opt out in writing.
Kindergartners can’t be screened before the 91st school day; transitional kindergarten isn’t covered.
If screening shows your child may be at risk for reading difficulties, the school must provide supports. That result isn’t a diagnosis, and screening can’t be used to delay a special-education evaluation.
Ask how many K–2 students screening found at risk last year, and how many got extra reading help.

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.
