Common questions

Why doesn't St. John Bosco have a Scope Score?

Private schools don't take California's state tests (CAASPP), so there is no state testing data for St. John Bosco to score. SchoolScope gives private schools no Scope Score, performance band, or rank.

Where do St. John Bosco's directory facts come from?

The enrollment, grade-span, and student–teacher figures shown here, when present, come from the NCES Private School Universe Survey 2021-22. That survey-period record is not a current enrollment or inspection report.

What AP courses are offered at St. John Bosco?

St. John Bosco had own-school AP authorizations for 21 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: African American Studies, Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Chinese Language and Culture, Computer Science A, Computer Science Principles, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, Human Geography, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Physics 1, Physics 2, Psychology, Spanish Language and Culture, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History, World History: Modern. The audit does not establish that a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams.
