Each gap is to the same group, grades and subject: in Chino Valley Unified, and across California. ■ Green: a group that is behind statewide does much better here, by 10 points or more and more than twice the margin of error.

Black or African American and homeless students, students of two or more races and English learners: fewer than 30 tested here. No published rate here for American Indian or Alaska Native, Pacific Islander and military-family students 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.

Low-income and Hispanic or Latino students here did far better than the same groups statewide.

Read the student-group results as sentences

Other subgroups: low-income students (50.0% met or exceeded the Math standard); Hispanic students (70.0% met or exceeded the ELA standard). The widest gap between a student group’s met-or-exceeded rate and the school-wide rate is 71.7 percentage points: English learners in ELA.

Common questions

Is Ruben S. Ayala High a good high school?
Ruben S. Ayala High is in the 91st percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. Its Scope Score is 77 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In 2024–25, 99% of the class graduated in four years (648 of 654); across California, 89%. The Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Ruben S. Ayala High's CAASPP test scores?
In spring 2025, 78% of students tested in grade 11 met or exceeded the English standard and 55% the math standard; 51% and 33% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 57% and 30% met or exceeded, 27% and 14% exceeded. 570 students were tested in English and 572 in math (CDE CAASPP 2024–25; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).
How does Ruben S. Ayala High rank in California?
Ruben S. Ayala High is in the 91st percentile of 1,500 California comprehensive high schools (Strong, 2025). Ruben S. Ayala High ranks #125 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), 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.
What do attendance and suspension records show for Ruben S. Ayala High?
CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 14.7% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 379 chronically absent of 2,578 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 1.7%; 44 unduplicated suspended students of 2,606 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 15.1%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 1.8%. These are model inputs, not CDE's reported rates. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.
How does Ruben S. Ayala High compare to other schools in Chino Hills?
Ruben S. Ayala High is in the 91st percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter high 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 2,541 students. Use the schools in Chino Hills page or the map view to compare nearby high schools.
What do reported student-group results show at Ruben S. Ayala High?
At Ruben S. Ayala High in Chino Hills, 70.7% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025 for reported grade 11, compared to 60.0% district-wide for those same grades and 48.7% statewide for those same grades. Ruben S. Ayala High’s rate for low-income students exceeds its district average by 10.7 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: low-income students (50.0% met or exceeded the Math standard); Hispanic students (70.0% met or exceeded the ELA standard). The widest gap between a student group’s met-or-exceeded rate and the school-wide rate is 71.7 percentage points: English learners in ELA. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 273 ELA grade test records. 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 AP courses are offered at Ruben S. Ayala High?
Ruben S. Ayala High had own-school AP authorizations for 30 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: 2-D Art and Design, Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Chinese Language and Culture, Comparative Government and Politics, Computer Science A, Computer Science Principles, Drawing, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, European History, French Language and Culture, Human Geography, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Music Theory, Physics 1, Physics 2, Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, Physics C: Mechanics, Psychology, Research, Seminar, Spanish Language and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History. The audit records authorization, not whether a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.
How many students from Ruben S. Ayala High go to UC?
In fall 2025, 127 Ruben S. Ayala High graduates enrolled at University of California campuses, universitywide. That figure can't be split into a per-campus sum — students apply to several UC campuses at once, so campus-level counts don't add up to the universitywide total. UC is one destination among many: this says nothing about graduates who chose a CSU, a private college, a community college, or work, and it is a count, not a rate or a ranking. Data source: University of California Office of the President (UC Information Center), fall 2025 admissions cycle.

That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is this version's 20% high-school college-readiness score factor. The school rate is 514 of 654 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate.

These 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 models.

The legacy high-school model uses 2024–25 graduation records. Its readiness input uses the 2025 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 newer 2025 model instead uses CDE's 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.

CDE reported all-students (TA) school rates for 2024 and 2025; the change is 2025 minus 2024 in percentage points.

ShowHide 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.
