Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “35% proficient” and call it done. Santa Clarita Valley International deserves a closer read. The school sits in Castaic, where two in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
As a charter, Santa Clarita Valley International enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
