CDE CAASPP 2025

Most rating sites would stop at “61% proficient” and call it done. Reedley Middle College deserves a closer read. The school sits in Reedley, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 87.2% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.

As a charter, Reedley Middle College enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
