Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “41% proficient” and call it done. Sol Aureus College Preparatory deserves a closer read. The school sits in Sacramento, where more than half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
Test scores are one lens, and at this school they're a rough one right now. The sections below show the fuller picture — including the parts that are working.
As a charter, Sol Aureus College Preparatory enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
