State growth model · CDE 2025 Dashboard growth
California's 2025 Dashboard growth model: ELA +7 and math −6 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=206), SchoolScope's middle cohort gain sits approximately at the 67th percentile on its calibrated reference scale. California's 2025 Dashboard weighted matched-student growth estimate reports ELA +7 pts vs expected and math −6 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=206 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 18 enrolled students per teacher FTE · SchoolScope reporting-district average 21
2024–25: about 18 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 Montera Middle a good middle school?
Montera Middle has a Scope Score of 41 out of 100, placing it in the 61st percentile of California comprehensive middle schools and ranked #849 statewide. Across the available ELA and Math grade-subject results for grades 6–8 on the 2025 CAASPP, Montera Middle's average Standard Exceeded rate is 20.3%. Available ELA and Math grade-subject rates are averaged equally. That is 3.1 percentage points above 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 Montera Middle's CAASPP test scores?
Across available ELA and Math grade-subject rates combined in CDE CAASPP 2025 (2024–25), Montera Middle's average Standard Met or Exceeded rate is 46.7%; its average Standard Exceeded rate is 20.3%. Available grade-subject rates are averaged equally. The 26.5 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. 1,336 student-subject test results underpin the school's assessment record.
How does Montera Middle rank in California?
Montera Middle is in the 61st percentile of 2,177 California comprehensive middle schools (Solid, 2025). Montera Middle ranks #849 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 Montera Middle getting better or worse?
SchoolScope compares Montera 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 67th 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 Montera Middle?
CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 24.5% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 176 chronically absent of 717 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 6.4%; 47 unduplicated suspended students of 738 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 24.4%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 6.3%. 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 Montera Middle compare to other schools in Oakland?
Montera Middle scores 41/100 (61st 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 695 students. Use the schools in Oakland page or the map view to compare nearby middle schools.
What do reported student-group results show at Montera Middle?
At Montera Middle in Oakland, 37.3% of socioeconomically disadvantaged students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025 for reported grades 6, 7 and 8, compared to 24.0% district-wide for those same grades and 37.7% statewide for those same grades. Montera Middle's rate for socioeconomically disadvantaged students exceeds its district average by 13.3 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: socioeconomically disadvantaged students (20.4% met or exceeded the Math standard); Black students (27.3% met or exceeded the ELA standard). Among the reported ELA and Math proficiency gaps supplied for this school, the largest is 34.2 percentage points: students with disabilities trail the school-wide rate in ELA. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 381 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 Montera Middle feed into?
By attendance boundary, Montera Middle is zoned to Skyline High and MetWest High. Scope Scores: Skyline High 52, MetWest High 44 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.

Interpretation and source limits
Montera's average Standard Met or Exceeded rate is 47% across reported grade–subject rows, versus 40% as the same-level scored-school mean. That comparison does not describe a share of distinct students.
Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.

These are retrospective calculations using earlier test results and current school levels and comparison classes. Each year's rank and percentile use that year's measured school group. They do not form a trend across different score models.
Historical ELPAC inputs are absent from these calculations. Missing factor weights are redistributed proportionally among available factors. Adjusted climate values are SchoolScope scoring inputs, distinct from the state’s reported rates.
CDE reported all-students (TA) school rates for 2024 and 2025; the change is 2025 minus 2024 in percentage points.

Each year names its school year end (2025 = 2024–25). “Students with scores” is the subject-specific rate denominator; ELA and Math counts must not be added. Earlier years are stored SchoolScope CDE records whose original files still need independent re-verification; a dash is unavailable, not zero.

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.
