Marconi Learning Academy is an alternative school: students are enrolled through a placement, application, or referral process specific to the program.
Compared only with other alternative schools: higher than 25 of the 97 other scored California alternative high schools.
The dots are California’s 98 scored alternative high schools, placed by Scope Score on spring 2025 tests. Why not spring 2026? High school scores include graduation and college-readiness records, which the state publishes a year after the tests. How it’s built →

What you can do
The state has Marconi Learning Academy in its most intensive support; its own board decides its plan.
2025–26 is its 4th year in a row in this support. The state named it for its graduation rate. This support comes with a school improvement plan, which must use approaches with evidence behind them and look at how money and staff are divided among schools. Ask the principal to see the school improvement plan.
Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source
California law requires schools to screen kindergartners through second graders for reading difficulties every year, with some exceptions. You get notice at least 15 days before, results within 45 days, and can opt out in writing.
Kindergartners can’t be screened before the 91st school day; transitional kindergarten isn’t covered.
If screening shows your child may be at risk for reading difficulties, the school must provide supports. That result isn’t a diagnosis, and screening can’t be used to delay a special-education evaluation.
Ask how many K–2 students screening found at risk last year, and how many got extra reading help.

74 in 100 students were chronically absent in 2025–26. That means they missed 10% or more of school days.

Ask current families how the school keeps them informed, and what happened when their child needed help. Ask staff how long teachers tend to stay.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is the college-readiness factor in the Scope Score (20% of the high school score). The school rate is 14 of 175 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate. The school CCI rate has its own student cohort and source year.
These source periods and populations differ: graduation uses an adjusted cohort, while A–G completion and college-going use separately reported groups. The rates are shown individually, without a shared performance tier.
