Home Street Middle scores 45 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 65th percentile of 1,714 California middle schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “42% proficient” and call it done. Home Street deserves a closer read. The school sits in Bishop, where three in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
