Academic achievement
48% of the 25 students tested scored Proficient or Advanced in English (reading and writing); 20% did in math.
State tests (CAASPP), grade 11, spring 2026
In grade 11, spring 2026, 48% of the 25 students tested scored Proficient or Advanced in English, against 33% at California alternative schools. In math, 20% did, against 14% at California alternative schools. Fewer than 30 students tested, so one year can swing a lot; ask how results looked in other years.
From spring 2026, the state calls its top two levels “Proficient or Advanced” (formerly “Met or Exceeded”).

A grade the school doesn't teach has no row. “Suppressed” marks a result CDE blanks because fewer than 11 students tested (CDE’s reporting rule); “none tested” marks a grade CDE lists with no students tested; “not on file” marks a result missing from the records we hold. None of them means zero.

What you can do
The state has Opportunities for Learning - William S. Hart in its most intensive support; its own board decides its plan.
2025–26 is its 4th year in a row in this support. The state named it for its graduation rate. This support comes with a school improvement plan, which must use approaches with evidence behind them and look at how money and staff are divided among schools. Ask the principal to see the school improvement plan.

CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score — 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 categorized” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. At least one estimate here is a CDE weighted estimate; that describes how CDE combines years, 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; here that is grade 8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.
