Where these figures come fromEach measure’s source, student group and definition
Graduated in four years
2024–25 · 9 of 13 students who started 9th grade together. California Department of Education, adjusted cohort graduation records.
Ready for college or career (state measure)
2024–25 · 0 of 13 students in the state’s measure. California Department of Education, College/Career Indicator (CCI), overall “Prepared” rate, among the students in the indicator’s group. Prepared is CDE’s overall classification, not AP participation or a college admission rate.
Finished the UC/CSU course list
2024–25 · 0 of 9 graduates finished the UC/CSU course list. California Department of Education, A–G completion records (graduates who met the UC/CSU course requirements). Course completion is separate from college enrollment.
Where students who finished high school went
CDE college-going records, class of 2023. College enrollment is counted for 12 months after finishing high school and matched to college records, so this runs about two years behind. A dash is unavailable, not zero.

How often do students miss school or get suspended?

No student was chronically absent in 2025–26. That means no student missed 10% or more of school days. 0 of 62 students were suspended at least once in 2025–26.

A grade the school doesn't teach has no row. “Suppressed” marks a result CDE blanks because fewer than 11 students tested (CDE’s reporting rule); “none tested” marks a grade CDE lists with no students tested; “not on file” marks a result missing from the records we hold.
