A high-ceiling school — students here are pushed to exceed, not just meet, the standard.
Composite scores are SchoolScope's analysis of public data from the California Dept. of Education (CAASPP, chronic absenteeism, suspension rates). They are not official CDE ratings and should not be the sole basis for school decisions. See methodology.

What other rankings don't show you
Most rating sites report "84% proficient" for La Entrada Middle and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
59.9% of students exceeded standard while 24.3% met it. That exceeded rate is 42.5 points above the state average of 17.3%. Compared to the 2 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 24.4 points higher (vs 35.5% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" can reveal how much a school's curriculum challenges students beyond proficiency.
Proficiency drops by 6.9 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
California's Dashboard shows ELA performance declined and Math maintained year-over-year. 19.4% of English learners reached Level 4 (Well Developed) on ELPAC.
Chronic absenteeism is 6.7%, better than the state average of 19.3%.
