Homestead (Alternative): The state doesn't publish enough data to score this school fairly.
Homestead (Alternative) is an elementary school in Ventura. The state doesn't publish enough data to score it fairly — so we won't. Here's what we can show.
No Scope Score available
California doesn't publicly report per-grade test results when fewer than 11 students are tested in a grade — a privacy protection for small schools. With 52 students total, this school likely falls below that threshold in most tested grades. We can't compute a Scope Score without that data.
With little published data, a visit does the heavy lifting: ask about class sizes, teacher tenure, and where last year's students went next.
- Ask about typical class sizes and the student-teacher ratio.
- Ask how long teachers have stayed at the school.
- Ask where recent graduates or transfers went next.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom, and watch how a lesson actually runs.

The road from this school ends at Foothill Technology High, which sent 25 graduates to UC campuses last fall and teaches 14 AP subjects. Those numbers describe past cohorts — a child starting here today would reach Foothill Technology High around 2035, and 10 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 89% of Foothill Technology High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.
