SchoolScope rounds the result to a whole student per teacher; the CDE staffing year above dates separate teacher facts.

Worth knowing

CDE Census Day counted 297 students here in 2024–25. This was below the 2024–25 median of 1,314 across 1,202 distinct schools in SchoolScope's administrative high directory category. The selected pool uses active comprehensive public and charter records with last-seen year 2025, verified CDE school totals and grades, and traditional or alternative-choice operations. It is not a statewide sample; category membership does not imply substantial enrollment in every grade or comparable grade distributions or programs.

On the state's science test (CAST), 38% met or exceeded the standard — science is tested in grades 5 and 8 and once in high school, and it never enters the Scope Score.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Kearny Eng Innov & Design a good high school?
Kearny Eng Innov & Design has a Scope Score of 67 out of 100, placing it in the 78th percentile of California comprehensive high schools and ranked #325 statewide. Across the available ELA and Math grade-subject results for grades 11 on the 2025 CAASPP, Kearny Eng Innov & Design's average Standard Exceeded rate is 30.4%. Available ELA and Math grade-subject rates are averaged equally. That is 10.1 percentage points above the 20.3% equal-school average across scored California comprehensive high schools at this level. The Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Kearny Eng Innov & Design's CAASPP test scores?
Across available ELA and Math grade-subject rates combined in CDE CAASPP 2025 (2024–25), Kearny Eng Innov & Design's average Standard Met or Exceeded rate is 57.2%; its average Standard Exceeded rate is 30.4%. Available grade-subject rates are averaged equally. The 26.8 percentage-point difference is the average Standard Met-only share across those same rows. These are averages of result rows, not the share of distinct students at the school. 139 student-subject test results underpin the school's assessment record.
How does Kearny Eng Innov & Design rank in California?
Kearny Eng Innov & Design is in the 78th percentile of 1,500 California comprehensive high schools (Strong, 2025). Kearny Eng Innov & Design ranks #325 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. 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 do attendance and suspension records show for Kearny Eng Innov & Design?
CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 10.6% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 32 chronically absent of 303 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 2.2%; 7 unduplicated suspended students of 318 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 14.3%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 2.5%. These are model inputs, not CDE's reported rates. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.
How does Kearny Eng Innov & Design compare to other schools in San Diego?
Kearny Eng Innov & Design scores 67/100 (78th percentile) among California comprehensive 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 297 students. Use the schools in San Diego page or the map view to compare nearby high schools.
What do reported student-group results show at Kearny Eng Innov & Design?
At Kearny Eng Innov & Design in San Diego, 64.3% of socioeconomically disadvantaged students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025 for reported grade 11, compared to 52.4% district-wide for those same grades and 48.7% statewide for those same grades. Kearny Eng Innov & Design's rate for socioeconomically disadvantaged students exceeds its district average by 11.9 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: socioeconomically disadvantaged students (31.1% met or exceeded the Math standard); Hispanic students (72.2% met or exceeded the ELA standard). Among the reported ELA and Math proficiency gaps supplied for this school, the largest is 38.2 percentage points: students with disabilities trail the school-wide rate in ELA. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 42 ELA grade test records. 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 Kearny Eng Innov & Design go to UC?
UC masks this number for Kearny Eng Innov & Design — fewer than three enrollees in fall 2025 — a privacy protection for small cohorts, not a signal about the school. Data source: University of California Office of the President (UC Information Center).

These are retrospective calculations using earlier test results and current school levels and comparison classes. Each year's rank and percentile use that year's measured school group. They do not form a trend across different score models.

The legacy high-school model uses 2024–25 graduation records. Its readiness input uses the 2025 AP pathway share among Prepared students when available; otherwise it uses 2024–25 A-G completion. A reported zero remains zero. These inputs do not describe graduation or readiness in the earlier assessment years. The newer 2025 model instead uses CDE's overall Prepared rate.

Historical ELPAC inputs are absent from these calculations. Missing factor weights are redistributed proportionally among available factors. Adjusted climate values are SchoolScope scoring inputs, distinct from the state’s reported rates.

CDE reported all-students (TA) school rates for 2024 and 2025; the change is 2025 minus 2024 in percentage points.

ShowHide how the California mean was selected

SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.

SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, 2020–2024 5-year estimates. Median household income covers the past 12 months and is reported in 2024 inflation-adjusted dollars. Bachelor's degree or higher uses adults age 25 and over as its population. A dash is unavailable, not zero; a reported zero remains zero.
