Stockdale High

Q: Is Stockdale High a good high school?

Stockdale High is in the 73rd percentile (Solid) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. Its Scope Score is 65 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In 2024–25, 93% of the class graduated in four years (545 of 584); across California, 89%. The Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, 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 Stockdale High's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2025, 75% of students tested in grade 11 met or exceeded the English standard and 40% the math standard; 44% and 23% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 57% and 30% met or exceeded, 27% and 14% exceeded. 566 students were tested in English and 558 in math (CDE CAASPP 2024–25; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

Q: How does Stockdale High rank in California?

Stockdale High is in the 73rd percentile of 1,500 California comprehensive high schools (Solid, 2025). Stockdale High ranks #394 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. 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.

Q: What do attendance and suspension records show for Stockdale High?

CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 11.4% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 280 chronically absent of 2,466 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 4.7%; 118 unduplicated suspended students of 2,530 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 11.9%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 4.7%. 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 Stockdale High compare to other schools in Bakersfield?

Stockdale High is in the 73rd percentile (Solid) of California’s regular public and charter high 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 2,398 students. Use the schools in Bakersfield page or the map view to compare nearby high schools.

Q: What AP courses are offered at Stockdale High?

Stockdale High had own-school AP authorizations for 23 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: 2-D Art and Design, 3-D Art and Design, Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Drawing, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, French Language and Culture, Macroeconomics, Music Theory, Physics 1, Physics 2, Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, Physics C: Mechanics, Psychology, Spanish Language and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History, World History: Modern. The audit records authorization, not whether a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Q: How many students from Stockdale High go to UC?

In fall 2025, 55 Stockdale High graduates enrolled at University of California campuses, universitywide. That figure can't be split into a per-campus sum — students apply to several UC campuses at once, so campus-level counts don't add up to the universitywide total. UC is one destination among many: this says nothing about graduates who chose a CSU, a private college, a community college, or work, and it is a count, not a rate or a ranking. Data source: University of California Office of the President (UC Information Center), fall 2025 admissions cycle.

Black or African American and Filipino students, English learners and students with disabilities: fewer than 30 tested here. No published rate here for American Indian or Alaska Native, Pacific Islander, homeless and military-family students and foster youth.

Common questions

Is Stockdale High a good high school?

Stockdale High is in the 73rd percentile (Solid) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. Its Scope Score is 65 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In 2024–25, 93% of the class graduated in four years (545 of 584); across California, 89%. The Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, 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.

What are Stockdale High's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2025, 75% of students tested in grade 11 met or exceeded the English standard and 40% the math standard; 44% and 23% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 57% and 30% met or exceeded, 27% and 14% exceeded. 566 students were tested in English and 558 in math (CDE CAASPP 2024–25; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

How does Stockdale High rank in California?

Stockdale High is in the 73rd percentile of 1,500 California comprehensive high schools (Solid, 2025). Stockdale High ranks #394 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. 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 do attendance and suspension records show for Stockdale High?

CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 11.4% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 280 chronically absent of 2,466 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 4.7%; 118 unduplicated suspended students of 2,530 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 11.9%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 4.7%. 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 Stockdale High compare to other schools in Bakersfield?

Stockdale High is in the 73rd percentile (Solid) of California’s regular public and charter high 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 2,398 students. Use the schools in Bakersfield page or the map view to compare nearby high schools.

What do reported student-group results show at Stockdale High?

What AP courses are offered at Stockdale High?

Stockdale High had own-school AP authorizations for 23 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: 2-D Art and Design, 3-D Art and Design, Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Drawing, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, French Language and Culture, Macroeconomics, Music Theory, Physics 1, Physics 2, Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, Physics C: Mechanics, Psychology, Spanish Language and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History, World History: Modern. The audit records authorization, not whether a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.

How many students from Stockdale High go to UC?

In fall 2025, 55 Stockdale High graduates enrolled at University of California campuses, universitywide. That figure can't be split into a per-campus sum — students apply to several UC campuses at once, so campus-level counts don't add up to the universitywide total. UC is one destination among many: this says nothing about graduates who chose a CSU, a private college, a community college, or work, and it is a count, not a rate or a ranking. Data source: University of California Office of the President (UC Information Center), fall 2025 admissions cycle.

That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is this version's 20% high-school college-readiness score factor. The school rate is 358 of 584 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate. The California figure is CDE's statewide CCI student cohort, not an average of SchoolScope's comparable high schools or the SchoolScope school-rank pool.

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.

The legacy high-school model uses 2024–25 graduation records. Its readiness input uses the 2025 AP pathway share among Prepared students when available; otherwise it uses 2024–25 A-G completion. A reported zero remains zero. These inputs do not describe graduation or readiness in the earlier assessment years. The newer 2025 model instead uses CDE's overall Prepared rate.

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.

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.
