Slipped from the 67th to the 34th percentile since 2022.

A missing score is not a judgment, and it is not a claim about what the state published. It means the composite a Scope Score, band and rank are all built from isn't on file for this school this year — the honest move is to say so, and to show whatever results are on file rather than guess at a number.

California’s growth results and student groups
State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25

California's own growth model places it near the 80th percentile of elementary schools.

Context — never part of the Scope Score

California runs its own growth model — it follows individual children in grades 4 through 8 and compares each one against a prediction from their own prior scores. On that measure this school sits well above the middle of California elementary schools in reading and math together. We show it; we don't score it.

— 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. A typical California elementary school lands at +2 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −5 and +9 — the spread is wide, so read the rank, not the sign. CDE blends two consecutive years into each published figure, so adjacent years share input data and no year-over-year trend can honestly be drawn from them. It covers grades 4-8 only, and it is not part of the Scope Score — we assessed it and left it out: it tracks school demographics roughly three times as strongly as our own growth measure does, and one published year is not enough to test how stable it is.

Plan your next step

What should I do next?

Worth a school visit

With no score to read, a visit does the heavy lifting: ask about class sizes, teacher tenure, and where last year's students went next.

  • Ask about typical class sizes and the student-teacher ratio.
  • Ask how long teachers have stayed at the school.
  • Ask where recent graduates or transfers went next.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom, and watch how a lesson actually runs.

Use the published evidence to prepare questions, then verify fit and access with the school.

Pacific Community Charter: reading the evidence

Pacific Community Charter is a school in Point Arena. We publish no Scope Score, band or rank for it this year — the composite they are all built from isn't on file. Here's what we can show.

Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.
