Common questions

Why doesn't Santa Catalina School have a Scope Score?

Private schools don't take California's state tests (CAASPP), so there is no state testing data for Santa Catalina School to score. SchoolScope gives private schools no Scope Score, performance band, or rank.

Where do Santa Catalina School's directory facts come from?

The enrollment, grade-span, and student–teacher figures shown here, when present, come from the NCES Private School Universe Survey 2021-22. That survey-period record is not a current enrollment or inspection report.

What AP courses are offered at Santa Catalina School?

Santa Catalina School had own-school AP authorizations for 10 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Chinese Language and Culture, English Literature and Composition, French Language and Culture, Spanish Language and Culture, Statistics, United States History. The audit does not establish that a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams.
