Team Charter Academy: The scores are below where anyone wants them. Here's what they don't tell you.

Team Charter Academy posts low test scores — and test scores are one lens among several. If this is your zoned school, the numbers below are where to start a conversation, not where to end one.

Most rating sites would stop at “14% proficient” and call it done. Team Charter Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Stockton, where four in five 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, Team Charter Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Frequently asked questions

Is Team Charter Academy a good middle school?
Team Charter Academy has a Scope Score of 17 out of 100, placing it in the 3rd percentile of California middle schools and ranked #2,174 statewide. 3.6% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 13.2 percentage points below the California average of 16.8%. The Scope Score weights six dimensions for middle schools: exceeded standard (43%), met or exceeded (22%), grade 3-to-5 growth (15%), chronic absenteeism (10%), ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%), and suspension rate (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Team Charter Academy's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 14.2% of students at Team Charter Academy met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 3.6% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 10.5% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 3.6% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it reveals whether a school's curriculum challenges students beyond minimum proficiency or paces toward it. 360 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Team Charter Academy rank in California?
Team Charter Academy ranks #2,174 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 3rd percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 6 to grade 8 growth), 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 Team Charter Academy getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Team Charter Academy decreases by 3.8 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth. This downward pattern doesn't necessarily mean the school is failing — it can reflect cohort differences, demographic shifts, or curriculum changes. A campus visit and conversation with teachers can reveal what the numbers can't. Growth trajectory is weighted at 15% in the middle Scope Score because it measures what the school does, not just who walks in the door.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Team Charter Academy?
32.6% of students at Team Charter Academy are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 18.5%. The suspension rate is 4.0%. 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 Team Charter Academy compare to other schools in Stockton?
Team Charter Academy scores 17/100 (3rd percentile) among California middle 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 180 students.

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.
