Each gap is to the same group, grades and subject: in Oceanside Unified, and across California. None is green: no group that is behind statewide does 10 or more points better here than the same group statewide.

Black or African American and Pacific Islander students, students of two or more races and English learners: fewer than 30 tested here. No published rate here for Asian, Filipino, American Indian or Alaska Native and homeless students and foster youth. That can reflect privacy rules or small numbers; it isn’t evidence of a gap. This table covers groups by income, race or ethnicity, language and disability; girls and boys aren’t split out.

Low-income and Hispanic or Latino students and students with disabilities did worse than the same groups statewide in English. White students did worse than the same group statewide in math.

Read the student-group results as sentences

At Oceanside High in Oceanside, 37.5% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025 for reported grade 11, compared to 38.6% district-wide for those same grades and 48.7% statewide for those same grades.

Oceanside High is in the 25th percentile (Developing) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. Its Scope Score is 48 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In 2024–25, 94% of the class graduated in four years (424 of 453); across California, 89%. The Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, 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 Oceanside High's CAASPP test scores?
In spring 2025, 42% of students tested in grade 11 met or exceeded the English standard and 20% the math standard; 16% and 7% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 57% and 30% met or exceeded, 27% and 14% exceeded. 407 students were tested in English and 407 in math (CDE CAASPP 2024–25; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).
How does Oceanside High rank in California?
Oceanside High is in the 25th percentile of 1,500 California comprehensive high schools (Developing, 2025). Oceanside High ranks #1,115 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. 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 do attendance and suspension records show for Oceanside High?
CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 36.0% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 725 chronically absent of 2,014 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 2.2%; 45 unduplicated suspended students of 2,068 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 35.8%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 2.3%. 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 Oceanside High compare to other schools in Oceanside?
Oceanside High is in the 25th percentile (Developing) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 1,948 students. Use the schools in Oceanside page or the map view to compare nearby high schools.
What do reported student-group results show at Oceanside High?
At Oceanside High in Oceanside, 37.5% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025 for reported grade 11, compared to 38.6% district-wide for those same grades and 48.7% statewide for those same grades. Oceanside High’s rate for low-income students trails its district average by 1.1 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: low-income students (18.1% met or exceeded the Math standard); Hispanic students (34.4% met or exceeded the ELA standard). The widest gap between a student group’s met-or-exceeded rate and the school-wide rate is 42.3 percentage points: English learners in ELA. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 288 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 AP courses are offered at Oceanside High?
Oceanside High had own-school AP authorizations for 18 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: 2-D Art and Design, Art History, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Drawing, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, Human Geography, Macroeconomics, Physics 1, Precalculus, Psychology, Spanish Language and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History. The audit records authorization, not whether a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.
How many students from Oceanside High go to UC?
In fall 2025, 21 Oceanside 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.

That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is this version's 20% high-school college-readiness score factor. The school rate is 178 of 453 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate.

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.

The legacy high-school model uses 2024–25 graduation records. Its readiness input uses the 2025 AP pathway share among Prepared students when available; otherwise it uses 2024–25 A-G completion. A reported zero remains zero. These inputs do not describe graduation or readiness in the earlier assessment years. The newer 2025 model instead uses CDE's overall Prepared rate.

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.

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.
