Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025

Climbed from the 14th to the 59th percentile since 2019 — past roughly 600 high schools.

Most rating sites would stop at “61% proficient” and call it done. Shasta Collegiate Academy deserves a closer read. Two in five of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — 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.

Shasta Collegiate Academy scores 56 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 59th percentile of 1,647 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

The pandemic drop is behind this school: 61% of students meet the standard today, above the 19% who did in 2019.

It spends $5,290 per student, less than the California average.

Context — never part of the Scope Score

These measure different things: this figure is spending attributed to this campus, while district-wide figures also include central administration, districtwide programs, and the state's pension contributions made on the district's behalf — costs that never get assigned to a single school. The district number runs higher at nearly every school, not just this one.

$203 per student arrives as federal Title funding — a measure of concentrated need, not school quality.

Worth knowing

At 76 students, this school is much smaller than the typical California high school (≈1450).

On the state's science test (CAST), 47% met or exceeded the standard — science is tested in grades 5 and 8 and once in high school, and it never enters the Scope Score.

What should I do next?

Worth a school visit

Ask how the school challenges kids who clear the standard early. The gap between meeting and exceeding is where pacing shows.

  • Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside it.
  • Ask what share of students complete the full college-prep course sequence, and who gets steered into it.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
  • Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
  • Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Shasta Collegiate Academy a good high school?
Shasta Collegiate Academy has a Scope Score of 56 out of 100, placing it in the 59th percentile of California high schools and ranked #675 statewide. 22.2% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 2.4 percentage points above the California average of 19.8%. The Scope Score weights 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate (25%), exceeded standard (22%), college/career readiness (20%), met or exceeded (proficient) (18%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Shasta Collegiate Academy's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 61.1% of students at Shasta Collegiate Academy met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 22.2% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 38.9% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 22.2% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 72 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Shasta Collegiate Academy rank in California?
Shasta Collegiate Academy ranks #675 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 59th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Shasta Collegiate Academy?
44.0% of students at Shasta Collegiate Academy are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 1.1%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Shasta Collegiate Academy compare to other schools in Redding?
Shasta Collegiate Academy scores 56/100 (59th percentile) among California high schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 76 students. Use the schools in Redding page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.
How does Shasta Collegiate Academy serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Shasta Collegiate Academy in Redding, 68.4% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 50.4% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Shasta Collegiate Academy outperforms its district average for low-income students by 18.0 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (52.6% Math proficient); White students (76.9% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 9.4 percentage points for low-income students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 19 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.

A closer look at the evidence

Shasta Collegiate Academy: reading the evidence

Shasta Collegiate Academy posts 61% meeting the standard, and 22.2% going well past it. Most kids here keep up. Fewer get pushed further. Ask the school what it does for a child who already finds the work easy.

Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.

This label means the data doesn't clearly sort the school one way or the other — ask what the school is proud of, and what it's working on.
