Annual results and the full academic record
Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025
Climbed from the 74th to the 94th percentile since 2019 — past roughly 300 high schools.
Most rating sites would stop at “80% proficient” and call it done. Middle College deserves a closer read. Four in five of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
Middle College's low-income kids hit 90.0% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.
92 tested · 1 of 1 grade published
Middle College High scores 77 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 94th percentile of 1,647 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
The pandemic drop is behind this school: 80% of students meet the standard today, above the 52% who did in 2019.

UC publishes this trend back to 1994 — no other destination has a comparable multi-year record.
UC is one road of many — the full destination mix for the class of 2023 is below. And who applied isn't who the school taught: the ratio between the two reflects the self-selected pool of students who chose to apply, not what happened in the classroom. By the state's 2023 count, 87% of this class's predecessors enrolled in college somewhere within a year.

Teacher experience
Average teacher experience in the published staffing record. It does not measure individual teacher effectiveness.

Authorization does not mean every course runs every year. Ask about current offerings, prerequisites, scheduling and support.
Chronically absent
The share of students absent for at least 10% of their enrolled school days. Attendance reflects both school and out-of-school circumstances.

It spends $20,756 per student, more than the California average.
Context — never part of the Scope Score
These measure different things: this figure is spending attributed to this campus, while district-wide figures also include central administration, districtwide programs, and the state's pension contributions made on the district's behalf — costs that never get assigned to a single school. The district number runs higher at nearly every school, not just this one.
$981 per student arrives as federal Title funding — a measure of concentrated need, not school quality.

Worth knowing
At 361 students, this school is much smaller than the typical California high school (≈1450).
On the state's science test (CAST), 59% met or exceeded the standard — science is tested in grades 5 and 8 and once in high school, and it never enters the Scope Score.

What should I do next?
Worth a school visit
Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.
- Ask whether extra support — tutoring, counseling, small groups — reaches kids across income lines, not just the students already ahead.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
- Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
- Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
- Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Middle College High a good high school?
Middle College High has a Scope Score of 77 out of 100, placing it in the 94th percentile of California high schools and ranked #102 statewide. 42.9% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 23.1 percentage points above the California average of 19.8%. The Scope Score weights 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate (25%), exceeded standard (22%), college/career readiness (20%), met or exceeded (proficient) (18%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Middle College High's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 79.9% of students at Middle College High met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 42.9% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 37.0% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 42.9% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 184 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Middle College High rank in California?
Middle College High ranks #102 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 94th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), 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.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Middle College High?
21.8% of students at Middle College High are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 0.5%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Middle College High compare to other schools in Los Angeles?
Middle College High scores 77/100 (94th percentile) among California high 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 361 students. Use the schools in Los Angeles page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.
How does Middle College High serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Middle College High in Los Angeles, 90.0% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 40.9% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Middle College High outperforms its district average for low-income students by 49.1 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (70.0% Math proficient); Hispanic students (89.1% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 4.2 percentage points for black students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 80 students tested. 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 AP courses are offered at Middle College High?
Middle College High's teachers are authorized to teach 11 of the 40 AP subjects the College Board offers, per the 2025 - 2026 AP Course Audit: African American Studies, Calculus AB, Comparative Government and Politics, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Physics 1, Precalculus, Seminar, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History, World History: Modern. Authorization means the school may teach a course, not that a section is running this year, and it's separate from AP exam pass rates. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.
How many students from Middle College High go to UC?
In fall 2025, 5 Middle College High graduates enrolled at University of California campuses, universitywide. That figure can't be split into a per-campus sum — students apply to several UC campuses at once, so campus-level counts don't add up to the universitywide total. UC is one destination among many: this says nothing about graduates who chose a CSU, a private college, a community college, or work, and it is a count, not a rate or a ranking. Data source: University of California Office of the President (UC Information Center), fall 2025 admissions cycle.

A closer look at the evidence
Middle College High: reading the evidence
Middle College posts 42.9% exceeding the standard — versus 19.8% statewide — with climate numbers better than most. That doesn't make it perfect. It makes it worth a visit to find what numbers can't measure.
Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.
Ask about what we don't score — class size, electives, the feel of a classroom — strong numbers everywhere on paper don't mean every classroom feels the same.
