CDE CAASPP 2025

Most rating sites would stop at “61% proficient” and call it done. Shasta Collegiate Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Redding, where two in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Shasta Collegiate Academy's low-income kids hit 68.4% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.
