State growth model · CDE 2025 Dashboard growth

California's 2025 Dashboard growth model: ELA −5 and math +5 scale-score pts vs expected.

Context — never part of the Scope Score

For the 2023→2025 school-grade groups (minimum rounded subject-mean endpoint n=153), SchoolScope's middle cohort gain sits approximately at the 40th percentile on its calibrated reference scale. California's 2025 Dashboard weighted matched-student growth estimate reports ELA −5 pts vs expected and math +5 pts vs expected for this school. These are scale-score points relative to predictions from students' prior results. The measures use different methods and units; one published year cannot establish a lasting pattern.

— pts vs expected is scale-score points above or below what California's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores. It is not a percentage and not a percent of anything. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; it is not two independent annual observations. It covers grades 4–8 only. SchoolScope shows it separately from the Scope Score: California follows matched students, while our scored cohort measure compares school-grade groups across years.

SchoolScope school-grade cohort proxy, 2023 to 2025: n=153 minimum rounded subject-mean records with scores at the two endpoints. These are school grade groups, not matched children. See the dated ELA endpoint records.

School staffing2024–25: about 23 enrolled students per teacher FTE · SchoolScope reporting-district average 22

2024–25: about 23 enrolled students per teacher FTE. CDE school-total enrollment divided by the school's reported teacher full-time equivalents in the NCES CCD 2024–25 final school staff file. SchoolScope rounds the result to a whole student per teacher; the CDE staffing year above dates separate teacher facts. The SchoolScope reporting-district average covers verified schools in our directory under this school's 2024–25 CDE reporting parent; school ratios are weighted by enrollment. The California figure, where shown, also averages available school ratios weighted by enrollment. This schoolwide staffing ratio is not class size.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Martin Murphy Middle a good middle school?
Martin Murphy Middle has a Scope Score of 33 out of 100, placing it in the 42nd percentile of California comprehensive middle schools and ranked #1,242 statewide. Across the available ELA and Math grade-subject results for grades 6–8 on the 2025 CAASPP, Martin Murphy Middle's average Standard Exceeded rate is 17.0%. Available ELA and Math grade-subject rates are averaged equally. That is near the 17.2% equal-school average across scored California comprehensive middle schools at this level. The Scope Score combines 6 dimensions for middle schools: exceeded standard, met or exceeded the standard, grade 6-to-8 growth, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Martin Murphy Middle's CAASPP test scores?
Across available ELA and Math grade-subject rates combined in CDE CAASPP 2025 (2024–25), Martin Murphy Middle's average Standard Met or Exceeded rate is 38.2%; its average Standard Exceeded rate is 17.0%. Available grade-subject rates are averaged equally. The 21.2 percentage-point difference is the average Standard Met-only share across those same rows. These are averages of result rows, not the share of distinct students at the school. 876 student-subject test results underpin the school's assessment record.
How does Martin Murphy Middle rank in California?
Martin Murphy Middle is in the 42nd percentile of 2,177 California comprehensive middle schools (Developing, 2025). Martin Murphy Middle ranks #1,242 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), aggregate cohort comparison (2023 G6 → 2025 G8), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
Is Martin Murphy Middle getting better or worse?
SchoolScope compares Martin Murphy Middle's grade 6 results in 2023 with its grade 8 results in 2025, using school-level test aggregates. Students are not matched across years, and enrollment changes can affect the comparison. SchoolScope middle standardized cohort gain: approximately 40th percentile on a calibrated reference scale, not an empirical school rank. This score compares school-level grade groups across ELA and Math, not matched students in California's separate growth model. It describes an aggregate change; it cannot establish how individual students progressed or what caused it. See full methodology.
What do attendance and suspension records show for Martin Murphy Middle?
CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 23.3% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 112 chronically absent of 481 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 5.1%; 25 unduplicated suspended students of 491 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 23.1%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 5.0%. These are model inputs, not CDE's reported rates. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.
How does Martin Murphy Middle compare to other schools in San Jose?
Martin Murphy Middle scores 33/100 (42nd percentile) among California comprehensive middle schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 466 students. Use the schools in San Jose page or the map view to compare nearby middle schools.
What do reported student-group results show at Martin Murphy Middle?
At Martin Murphy Middle in San Jose, 29.2% of socioeconomically disadvantaged students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025 for reported grades 6, 7 and 8, compared to 28.9% district-wide for those same grades and 37.7% statewide for those same grades. Martin Murphy Middle's rate for socioeconomically disadvantaged students exceeds its district average by 0.3 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: socioeconomically disadvantaged students (20.0% met or exceeded the Math standard); Hispanic students (30.5% met or exceeded the ELA standard). Among the reported ELA and Math proficiency gaps supplied for this school, the largest is 39.5 percentage points: English learners trail the school-wide rate in ELA. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 203 ELA grade test records. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
What high school does Martin Murphy Middle feed into?
By attendance boundary, Martin Murphy Middle is zoned to Ann Sobrato High. Ann Sobrato High has a Scope Score of 68 out of 100. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education's School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

The Absent and Susp columns are SchoolScope model-adjusted scoring inputs, rather than raw CDE-reported school rates.

Grade gap = this year's grade 6 vs grade 8 result, two different sets of students, not a trend for any one child — it is not the measurement the Scope Score's growth dimension uses. See §01 above and /methodology#verdicts for the school's actual scored (cohort) growth.

CDE reports scale-score points versus its growth-model prediction — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a valid growth score. SchoolScope uses that threshold for the shorter narrative view; the reported values stay visible here. “Not categorised” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. Long-Term English Learner counts cover grades 6-8 only (CDE), so that row is not comparable to the All Students row. CDE labels at least one imported estimate here WEIGHTED; that describes its aggregation method, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points versus its prediction for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California middle school records, the median ELA estimate is −1 and the middle half fall between −8 and +6 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read its position among reported schools, not the sign. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8 and is not part of the Scope Score.

ShowHide 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.

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.
