Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025
Slipped from the 61st to the 10th percentile since 2019.
Most rating sites would stop at “21% proficient” and call it done. High Tech High Media Arts deserves a closer read. Two in five of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
Test scores are one lens, and at this school they're a rough one right now. The sections below show the fuller picture — including the parts that are working.
As a charter, High Tech High Media Arts enrolls by application rather than address. That changes how you get in, but it doesn't change the score.

UC is one road of many — the full destination mix for the class of 2023 is below. And who applied isn't who the school taught: the ratio between the two reflects the self-selected pool of students who chose to apply, not what happened in the classroom. By the state's 2023 count, 77% of this class's predecessors enrolled in college somewhere within a year. More of the class of 2023 enrolled at community colleges (30) than at UC (17).

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 what share of students complete the full college-prep course sequence, and who gets steered into 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 High Tech High Media Arts a good high school?
High Tech High Media Arts has a Scope Score of 38 out of 100, placing it in the 10th percentile of California high schools and ranked #1,476 statewide. 5.7% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 14.1 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 High Tech High Media Arts's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 20.9% of students at High Tech High Media Arts met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 5.7% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 15.2% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 5.7% 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. 158 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does High Tech High Media Arts rank in California?
High Tech High Media Arts ranks #1,476 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 10th 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 High Tech High Media Arts?
31.7% of students at High Tech High Media Arts are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 4.2%. 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 High Tech High Media Arts compare to other schools in San Diego?
High Tech High Media Arts scores 38/100 (10th 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 355 students. Use the schools in San Diego page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.
How does High Tech High Media Arts serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At High Tech High Media Arts in San Diego, 31.7% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 42.6% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. High Tech High Media Arts trails its district average for low-income students by 10.9 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (2.4% Math proficient); Hispanic students (31.5% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 28.6 percentage points for disabilities students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 41 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.
How many students from High Tech High Media Arts go to UC?
In fall 2025, 11 High Tech High Media Arts 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.

‹n = UC masks counts below n · a missing year means zero or masked — never assume zero · GPA cells blank for years with more than one contributing CEEB code (a summed GPA would be fabricated math) · GPAs live here and nowhere else on this page · Applied/Admitted/Enrolled reflect who applied, not what the school taught — no admit rate is computed or implied by this table. Series shown from 2014; full record to 1994 at the UC Infocenter.
