Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025
Has stayed near the 29th percentile since 2019.
Most rating sites would stop at “34% proficient” and call it done. John H. Francis Polytechnic deserves a closer read. Four in five of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

John H. Francis Polytechnic scores 47 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 29th percentile of 1,647 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 34% meet the standard today, versus 41% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.

These measure different things: this figure is spending attributed to this campus, while district-wide figures also include central administration, districtwide programs, and the state's pension contributions made on the district's behalf — costs that never get assigned to a single school. The district number runs higher at nearly every school, not just this one.
$2,008 per student arrives as federal Title funding — a measure of concentrated need, not school quality.

Plan your next step
What should I do next?
Worth a school visit
Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.
- 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.

Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are John H. Francis Polytechnic's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 34.3% of students at John H. Francis Polytechnic met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 14.5% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 19.8% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 14.5% 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. 902 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does John H. Francis Polytechnic rank in California?
John H. Francis Polytechnic ranks #1,163 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 29th 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 John H. Francis Polytechnic?
30.2% of students at John H. Francis Polytechnic are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 0.6%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. 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 John H. Francis Polytechnic compare to other schools in Sun Valley?
John H. Francis Polytechnic scores 47/100 (29th percentile) among California high schools.

How does John H. Francis Polytechnic serve low-income and underrepresented students?

Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 422 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.
What AP courses are offered at John H. Francis Polytechnic?
John H. Francis Polytechnic's teachers are authorized to teach 22 of the 40 AP subjects the College Board offers, per the 2025 - 2026 AP Course Audit: African American Studies, Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Computer Science Principles, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, European History, Human Geography, Macroeconomics, Physics 1, Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, Physics C: Mechanics, Precalculus, Research, Seminar, Spanish Language and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History. Authorization means the school may teach a course, not that a section is running this year, and it's separate from AP exam pass rates.
