What the number means. California predicts each student’s score from that student’s own English and math scores the year before, based on how students with similar scores did across the state. Zero would mean students here scored as predicted. In English they scored 22 points below that prediction, and in math 24 points below it.
The levels. CDE sorts every school’s result into five levels, from Minimal to Exceptional. The bar under each number shows where this school landed.
Two years at once. For most schools, this one included, CDE’s figure blends the two most recent years of growth, so it moves more slowly than a single year’s scores.
Ask: Most students in grades 7 and 8 haven’t yet met the state’s standards in English and math. What extra help do they get, and how do you know it’s working?

Each gap is to the same group, grades and subject: in Hesperia 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.
No published rate here for Asian, Filipino, American Indian or Alaska Native, Pacific Islander and military-family students, students of two or more races 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.

The road from this school ends at Sultana High. UC records 26 enrollees from Sultana High for fall 2025. Its AP Course Audit lists 22 authorized AP subjects for 2025 - 2026. Those figures come from dated records — a child starting here today would reach Sultana High around 2032, and 6 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 65% of Sultana High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

Common questions
Is Ranchero Middle a good middle school?
Ranchero Middle is in the 10th percentile (Needs Support) of California’s regular public and charter middle schools. Its Scope Score is 22 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In spring 2026, on California's state tests (CAASPP), Ranchero Middle was well below California in English and math: 33% and 18% met or exceeded the standard in grades 7 and 8, against 50% and 37% statewide. The 2026 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 Smarter Balanced results, spring 2026, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Ranchero Middle's CAASPP test scores?
In spring 2026, 33% of students tested in grades 7 and 8 met or exceeded the English standard and 18% the math standard; 8% and 6% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 50% and 37% met or exceeded, 19% and 21% exceeded. 1,113 students were tested in English and 1,104 in math (CDE CAASPP 2025–26; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).
How does Ranchero Middle rank in California?
Ranchero Middle is in the 10th percentile of 2,532 California comprehensive middle schools (Needs Support, 2026). Ranchero Middle ranks #2,261 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. The 2026 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 full methodology.
What do attendance and suspension records show for Ranchero Middle?
CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 36.7% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 466 chronically absent of 1,270 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 10.3%; 134 unduplicated suspended students of 1,307 cumulative enrollment. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.
How does Ranchero Middle compare to other schools in Hesperia?
Ranchero Middle is in the 10th percentile (Needs Support) of California’s regular public and charter middle 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 1,140 students. Use the schools in Hesperia page or the map view to compare nearby middle schools.
What do reported student-group results show at Ranchero Middle?
At Ranchero Middle in Hesperia, 30% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) in grades 7–8 scored Proficient or Advanced (formerly Met or Exceeded) in reading and writing in spring 2026, compared with 27% across the district and 39% across California for the same group in the same grades. That is 3 points above the district rate for the same group. Also: low-income students, 15% in math; Hispanic students, 30% in reading and writing. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP, spring 2026. 887 low-income students tested in reading and writing. 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 Ranchero Middle feed into?
In the 2015–16 federal attendance-boundary survey, most of Ranchero Middle's attendance area fell inside the attendance area of Sultana High. Sultana High is in the 51st percentile (Solid) of California’s regular public and charter high schools on its 2025 Scope Score. 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.

Share of reported school teaching-position full-time equivalents assigned to properly assigned intern credential holders. A reported 0.0% is shown; unavailable rates are omitted. This is a position share, not a count of current teachers or of emergency permits.
CDE reported all-students (TA) school rates for 2025 and 2026; the change is 2026 minus 2025 in percentage points.
Each year names its school year end (2026 = 2025–26). “Students with scores” is the subject-specific rate denominator; ELA and Math counts must not be added. The 2015–2018 rows were checked against CDE’s original research files. The 2015 and 2016 files report whole percentages; later rows round to one decimal here. Older stored rows from other years still need independent original-file re-verification. A dash is unavailable, not zero. Before spring 2026, Advanced was reported as Exceeded and proficient or advanced as met or exceeded.

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 −2 and the middle half fall between −10 and +5 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.

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.
