Why there's no score here
Private schools don't participate in California's standardized testing (CAASPP). We can show you what's publicly available — enrollment, student-teacher ratio, grade levels, and affiliation — but we can't score or rank private schools the way we do public ones. For academic quality, visit the school, ask for their internal assessment data, and talk to current families.

Questions to ask the admissions office
What standardized tests do you administer, and how do students perform?
ERB, ISEE, and AP scores can give you a baseline — ask for aggregate results.

How do they challenge advanced learners and support students who need help?
What is the student retention rate year to year?
High attrition can signal problems that aren't visible from the outside.
Where do graduates go to high school (or college)?
Matriculation lists reveal the outcomes families are paying for.
What is the full cost including fees, and what financial aid is available?
Tuition is just the starting number — ask about all-in costs.
What accreditation does the school hold?
WASC, CAIS, or other accreditation signals institutional quality standards.
