Parras (Nick G.) Middle

Redondo Beach, CA · Grades 6-8 · 1,031 students · Redondo Beach Unified

Kids show up — absenteeism runs far below the state. But this year's 8th graders test below its 6th graders.

69% of tested students are Proficient or Advanced in English and 62% in math. Explore the evidence alongside the opportunities your child would use.

What this means for your family

Ask what the school does for a kid who's already meeting the standard with room to spare — steady proficiency across the board doesn't tell you whether the strongest kids are being pushed further.

Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025

Slipped from the 96th to the 75th percentile since 2019.

Most rating sites would stop at “66% proficient” and call it done. Parras (Nick G.) deserves a closer read. It sits at the 75th percentile of 2,177 California middle schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.

Parras (Nick G.)'s low-income kids hit 54.1% 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.

Parras (Nick G.) Middle scores 48 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 75th percentile of 2,177 California middle schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 66% meet the standard today, versus 77% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.

State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25

California's own growth model splits here — the 12th percentile in reading against the 33rd in math, among middle schools.

Context — never part of the Scope Score

California runs its own growth model, following individual children in grades 4 through 8 rather than comparing school-wide averages the way we do — and its two subjects part company here. It puts this school around the 12th percentile of California middle schools in reading and the 33rd in math; ours, which blends the subjects, lands around the 17th. A gap that size between math and reading in one building is worth asking about directly — one year of data can't tell you whether it is the teaching, the cohort, or noise.

— 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 middle school lands at −1 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −8 and +6 — 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.

California follows these children individually and predicts each one's score from their own prior year. Each row is read against the same group at a typical California middle school — not against zero, and not against this school's all-students figure, because the state's expectation already differs by group.

— 4 more groups are reported here with between 11 and 29 students. We hold those back on purpose: at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own, and a quarter of such groups land past the state's top or bottom cut point by chance alone. They are listed with their student counts in the data appendix. — A group not listed at all had fewer than 11 students with a growth score, so California published nothing for it here. That is a privacy protection, not a judgment about those students. — Context only. None of this enters the Scope Score.

The road from this school ends at Redondo Union High, which sent 95 graduates to UC campuses last fall and teaches 7 AP subjects. Those numbers describe past cohorts — a child starting here today would reach Redondo Union High around 2031, and 6 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 87% of Redondo Union High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

Plan your next step

What should I do next?

Worth a school visit

  • Ask what changes between grade 6 and grade 8 here, and who teaches the older kids.
  • 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 Parras (Nick G.) Middle a good middle school?
Parras (Nick G.) Middle has a Scope Score of 48 out of 100, placing it in the 75th percentile of California middle schools and ranked #545 statewide. 33.4% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 16.2 percentage points above the California average of 17.2%. The Scope Score weights 6 dimensions for middle schools: exceeded standard (42%), met or exceeded (proficient) (23%), grade 6-to-8 growth (20%), 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 Parras (Nick G.) Middle's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 65.6% of students at Parras (Nick G.) Middle met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 33.4% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 32.3% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 33.4% 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. 2,030 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Parras (Nick G.) Middle rank in California?
Parras (Nick G.) Middle ranks #545 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 75th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), same-cohort growth (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 Parras (Nick G.) Middle getting better or worse?
SchoolScope follows the same cohort of students across grades rather than comparing two different grades in the same year. At Parras (Nick G.) Middle that cohort is 2023 G6 → 2025 G8, measured in SBAC scale-score points. Its gain ranks weak among California middle schools — roughly the 17th percentile, behind the typical school at this level. Read the ranking, not the raw point gain: scale scores rise with age, so nearly every school posts a positive number and only the relative position tells you anything. Growth is weighted at 20% in the middle Scope Score because it is the least demographically confounded signal available — it tracks change over time rather than the level students arrived at. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Parras (Nick G.) Middle?
9.4% of students at Parras (Nick G.) Middle are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 18.1%. The suspension rate is 3.0%. 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 Parras (Nick G.) Middle compare to other schools in Redondo Beach?
Parras (Nick G.) Middle scores 48/100 (75th percentile) among California 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 1,031 students. Use the schools in Redondo Beach page or the map view to compare all middle schools nearby.
How does Parras (Nick G.) Middle serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Parras (Nick G.) Middle in Redondo Beach, 54.1% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 52.0% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Parras (Nick G.) Middle outperforms its district average for low-income students by 2.1 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (38.5% Math proficient); White students (69.4% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 48.3 percentage points for disabilities students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 148 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 high school does Parras (Nick G.) Middle feed into?
By attendance boundary, Parras (Nick G.) Middle is zoned to Redondo Union High. Redondo Union High has a Scope Score of 76 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.

A closer look at the evidence

Parras (Nick G.) Middle: reading the evidence

Parras (Nick G.) has real strengths and one number that complicates them. Most rating sites show you one or the other. Both belong on the same page.

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

Ask what the school does for a kid who's already meeting the standard with room to spare — steady proficiency across the board doesn't tell you whether the strongest kids are being pushed further.

We show the grade rows CDE publishes for this school. A missing grade or dash can mean the school does not serve that grade, that we hold no valid result for it, or that the tested group was too small to report. It does not mean zero.

Grade gap = this year's grade 3 vs grade 5 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.

Whole scale-score points above or below what CDE's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores — not a percentage, not a percentile. Statewide a typical school lands near +1 with a spread of about 13 points either side, so read a figure against its group's own typical value, not against zero. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a growth score — published by CDE, held back from the narrative sections above because at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own. “Not categorised” is CDE assigning no band — English Only, Recently Reclassified, and English Learners Only receive a value and no band, for every school in the state. It is not a missing number. Most figures blend two consecutive years, so adjacent published years share input data and no trend line can honestly be drawn across them. A group absent from this table had fewer than 11 students with a growth score and was never published. Grades 4-8 only. None of this enters the Scope Score — it is more strongly correlated with school demographics than our own growth measure, and one published year is not enough to test its reliability.
