A grade the school doesn't teach has no row. “Suppressed” marks a result CDE blanks because fewer than 11 students tested (CDE’s reporting rule); “none tested” marks a grade CDE lists with no students tested; “not on file” marks a result missing from the records we hold. None of them means zero.

What you can do

Who can act on Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall’s results?

Los Angeles County Office of Education’s board decides Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall’s plan.

The state hasn’t placed Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in a support program. Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source 

Students at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall are enrolled by court order, most for weeks or months.

What has the state flagged?

The state is giving Los Angeles County Office of Education extra help in 2026. It qualified on the 2025 and 2026 California School Dashboards. The 2026 Dashboard flagged results for Black or African American students on two measures: graduation, and suspensions; and for homeless students on two measures: graduation, and suspensions; and for long-term English learners on two measures: graduation, and college and career readiness.

Extra help for Los Angeles County Office of Education: CDE’s assistance status files for the 2025 and 2026 California School Dashboards. Source 

When is the plan set, and how can you take part?

Los Angeles County Office of Education’s board must adopt its yearly plan (LCAP) by July 1, after at least one public hearing at an earlier meeting.
