Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025

Climbed from the 5th to the 15th percentile since 2019 — past roughly 400 elementary schools.

A missing score is not a judgment, and it is not a claim about what the state published. It means the composite a Scope Score, band and rank are all built from isn't on file for this school this year — the honest move is to say so, and to show whatever results are on file rather than guess at a number.

Proficiency here is back to its pre-pandemic level — 7% meet the standard, about where the school stood in 2019.

Marshall (Thurgood) HighScope 25estimated path

The road from this school ends at Marshall (Thurgood) High, which sent 5 graduates to UC campuses last fall and teaches 5 AP subjects. Those numbers describe past cohorts — a child starting here today would reach Marshall (Thurgood) High around 2035, and 10 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 57% of Marshall (Thurgood) High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

Plan your next step

What should I do next?

Worth a school visit

With no score to read, 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.

Use the published evidence to prepare questions, then verify fit and access with the school.

Lee (Edwin and Anita) Newcomer: reading the evidence

Lee (Edwin and Anita) Newcomer is an elementary school in San Francisco. We publish no Scope Score, band or rank for it this year — the composite they are all built from isn't on file. Here's what we can show.

Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.
