Scope Score by year2018–19 to 2024–25 · each year’s inputs, and the score for each year we could verify

The 2024–25 Scope Score uses the state’s college-or-career readiness measure, 2024–25, and is not published for this school. Earlier scores are shown under the earlier formula. The two formulas differ, so their scores do not form one trend.

Scope Score each year it was calculated

School yearScope ScorePercentileRankComparison group
2018–192562#130California continuation high schools · 343 schools · earlier formula
2021–222874#86California continuation high schools · 335 schools · earlier formula
2022–232666#115California continuation high schools · 346 schools · earlier formula
2023–242771#93California continuation high schools · 332 schools · earlier formula

2024–25 has records on file but no Scope Score we could verify against that year’s source files, so no score is shown for it.

Earlier-formula years are retrospective calculations using earlier test results and current school levels and comparison classes. Each year's rank and percentile use that year's measured school group. They do not form a trend across different score formulas.

The earlier high-school formula uses 2024–25 graduation records. Its readiness input uses the 2024–25 AP pathway share among Prepared students when available; otherwise it uses 2024–25 A-G completion. A reported zero remains zero. These inputs do not describe graduation or readiness in the earlier assessment years. The current formula instead uses the state’s college-or-career readiness measure (its overall Prepared rate).

Historical ELPAC inputs are absent from these calculations. Missing factor weights are redistributed proportionally among available factors. Adjusted climate values are SchoolScope scoring inputs, distinct from the state’s reported rates.
