Overview

Is Lee Vining High a good school?

55% of the 11 students tested met or exceeded the standard in English (reading and writing); 18% did in math. In grade 11, spring 2023, 55% of the 11 students tested met or exceeded the standard in English, against 55% across California. In math, 18% did, against 27% across California. Fewer than 30 students tested, so one year’s result can change a lot. Ask how results looked in other years.

Over time

Have results changed?

There’s no spring 2022 result to compare with spring 2023: fewer than 11 students tested here that year, so CDE withheld it.

The hatched block marks years with no comparable state test results. Each spring tests a different group of students. Between 11 and 11 students were tested here each year in each subject. With 11 students, one student is 9 points, so each year is a dot and no line joins them. Source: California Department of Education, state tests (CAASPP).

The top two levels were called Met or Exceeded before 2026 and are called Proficient or Advanced now.

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.

Dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar, so they can differ from the total by a dollar. 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.
