Solorsano Middle

Q: Is Solorsano Middle a good middle school?

Solorsano Middle is in the 48th percentile (Developing) of California’s regular public and charter middle schools. Its Scope Score is 36 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In spring 2025, on California's state tests (CAASPP), Solorsano Middle was below California in English, near it in math: 42% and 34% met or exceeded the standard in grades 6–8, against 49% and 36% statewide. The Scope Score combines 6 dimensions for middle schools: exceeded standard, met or exceeded the standard, grade 6-to-8 growth, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Q: What are Solorsano Middle's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2025, 42% of students tested in grades 6–8 met or exceeded the English standard and 34% the math standard; 16% and 20% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 49% and 36% met or exceeded, 19% and 20% exceeded. 732 students were tested in English and 738 in math (CDE CAASPP 2024–25; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

Q: How does Solorsano Middle rank in California?

Solorsano Middle is in the 48th percentile of 2,177 California comprehensive middle schools (Developing, 2025). Solorsano Middle ranks #1,113 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), aggregate cohort comparison (2023 G6 → 2025 G8), 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.

Q: Is Solorsano Middle getting better or worse?

SchoolScope compares Solorsano Middle's grade 6 results in 2023 with its grade 8 results in 2025, using school-level test aggregates. Students are not matched across years, and enrollment changes can affect the comparison. SchoolScope middle standardized cohort gain: approximately 48th percentile on a calibrated reference scale, not an empirical school rank. This score compares school-level grade groups across ELA and Math, not matched students in California's separate growth model. It describes an aggregate change; it cannot establish how individual students progressed or what caused it. See full methodology.

Q: What do attendance and suspension records show for Solorsano Middle?

CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 19.8% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 156 chronically absent of 787 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 8.1%; 65 unduplicated suspended students of 804 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 19.8%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 8.0%. These are model inputs, not CDE's reported rates. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.

Q: How does Solorsano Middle compare to other schools in Gilroy?

Solorsano Middle is in the 48th percentile (Developing) of California’s regular public and charter middle schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 749 students. Use the schools in Gilroy page or the map view to compare nearby middle schools.

Q: What high school does Solorsano Middle feed into?

By attendance boundary, Solorsano Middle is zoned to Gilroy High. Gilroy High has a Scope Score of 46 out of 100. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education's School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Each gap is to the same group, grades and subject: in Gilroy Unified, and across California. None is green: no group that is behind statewide does 10 or more points better here than the same group statewide.

Filipino students: fewer than 30 tested here. No published rate here for Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Pacific Islander, homeless and military-family students and foster youth. That can reflect privacy rules or small numbers; it isn’t evidence of a gap. This table covers groups by income, race or ethnicity, language and disability; girls and boys aren’t split out.

How does Solorsano Middle rank in California?

Solorsano Middle is in the 48th percentile of 2,177 California comprehensive middle schools (Developing, 2025). Solorsano Middle ranks #1,113 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), aggregate cohort comparison (2023 G6 → 2025 G8), 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.

Is Solorsano Middle getting better or worse?

SchoolScope compares Solorsano Middle's grade 6 results in 2023 with its grade 8 results in 2025, using school-level test aggregates. Students are not matched across years, and enrollment changes can affect the comparison. SchoolScope middle standardized cohort gain: approximately 48th percentile on a calibrated reference scale, not an empirical school rank. This score compares school-level grade groups across ELA and Math, not matched students in California's separate growth model. It describes an aggregate change; it cannot establish how individual students progressed or what caused it. See full methodology.

What do attendance and suspension records show for Solorsano Middle?

CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 19.8% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 156 chronically absent of 787 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 8.1%; 65 unduplicated suspended students of 804 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 19.8%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 8.0%. These are model inputs, not CDE's reported rates. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.

How does Solorsano Middle compare to other schools in Gilroy?

Solorsano Middle is in the 48th percentile (Developing) of California’s regular public and charter middle schools.

What do reported student-group results show at Solorsano Middle?

What high school does Solorsano Middle feed into?

By attendance boundary, Solorsano Middle is zoned to Gilroy High. Gilroy High has a Scope Score of 46 out of 100. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education's School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

These are retrospective calculations using earlier test results and current school levels and comparison classes. Each year's rank and percentile use that year's measured school group. They do not form a trend across different score models.

Historical ELPAC inputs are absent from these calculations. Missing factor weights are redistributed proportionally among available factors. Adjusted climate values are SchoolScope scoring inputs, distinct from the state’s reported rates.

CDE reported all-students (TA) school rates for 2024 and 2025; the change is 2025 minus 2024 in percentage points.

CDE reports scale-score points versus its growth-model prediction — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a valid growth score. SchoolScope uses that threshold for the shorter narrative view; the reported values stay visible here. “Not categorised” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. Long-Term English Learner counts cover grades 6-8 only (CDE), so that row is not comparable to the All Students row. CDE labels at least one imported estimate here WEIGHTED; that describes its aggregation method, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points versus its prediction for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California middle school records, the median ELA estimate is −1 and the middle half fall between −8 and +6 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read its position among reported schools, not the sign. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8 and is not part of the Scope Score.

ShowHide how the California mean was selected

SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.

These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
