Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →

Most rating sites would stop at “69% proficient” and call it done. School for Entrepreneurship and Technology deserves a closer read. It sits at the 96th percentile of 2,160 California high schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.

The headline number: 38.8% of students scored in the top band on the state test. The California average is 15.8%.

As a charter, School for Entrepreneurship and Technology enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
