Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “28% proficient” and call it done. Insight School of California deserves a closer read. The school sits in Simi Valley, where three in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 0.3% suspension rate — versus 3.6% statewide.
As a charter, Insight School of California enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
