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

California's own growth model splits here — the 38th percentile in reading against the 78th in math, among middle 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 a little above the middle of California middle schools in reading, and the 78th in math. 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 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.

The state's growth model, by student group

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.

Crescenta Valley HighScope 79direct feeder

The road from this school ends at Crescenta Valley High, which sent 103 graduates to UC campuses last fall and teaches 30 AP subjects. Those numbers describe past cohorts — a child starting here today would reach Crescenta Valley High around 2031, and 6 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 90% of Crescenta Valley High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

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.
