Annual results and the full academic record
Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025

Has stayed near the bottom percentile since 2019.

Most rating sites would stop at “9% proficient” and call it done. Stockton deserves a closer read. Four in five of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — 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.

Stockton High scores 11 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the bottom percentile of 1,647 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Proficiency here is back to its pre-pandemic level — 9% meet the standard, about where the school stood in 2019.

What gets spent · FY 2024–25

It spends $12,080 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.

$695 per student arrives as federal Title funding — a measure of concentrated need, not school quality.

The district's current expense of education per student, from CDE's annual SACS filing — the freshest district spending figure the state publishes.

Worth knowing

At 191 students, this school is much smaller than the typical California high school (≈1450).

On the state's science test (CAST), 8% 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 what changed in the last two years, and what the school is asking families for. Growth shows up in these numbers a year or two after it shows up in classrooms.

  • Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside 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 Stockton High a good high school?
Stockton High has a Scope Score of 11 out of 100, placing it in the bottom percentile of California high schools and ranked #1,646 statewide. 2.5% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 17.3 percentage points below 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 Stockton High's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 8.8% of students at Stockton High met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 2.5% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 6.3% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 2.5% 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. 80 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Stockton High rank in California?
Stockton High ranks #1,646 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the bottom 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 Stockton High?
79.1% of students at Stockton High are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 1.0%, 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 Stockton High compare to other schools in Stockton?
Stockton High scores 11/100 (bottom 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 191 students. Use the schools in Stockton page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.
How does Stockton High serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Stockton High in Stockton, 16.2% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 27.1% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Stockton High trails its district average for low-income students by 10.8 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (0.0% Math proficient); Hispanic students (21.9% ELA proficient). Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 38 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

Stockton High: reading the evidence

Stockton posts low test scores — and suspensions run below the state rate (1.0% vs 3.3%). If this is your zoned school, the numbers below are where to start a conversation, not where to end one.

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.
