Every school has strengths the data doesn’t fully capture. Visit and see for yourself.

Resources alone aren't driving results yet — deeper challenges may be at play

Scope Scores are SchoolScope's analysis of public data from the California Dept. of Education (CAASPP, chronic absenteeism, suspension rates). They are not official CDE ratings and should not be the sole basis for school decisions. See methodology.

Exceeded: 3% (state avg: 17)
Proficiency: 15% (state avg: 40)
Growth: -3.6 (state avg: 43)

What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "15% proficient" for Technology Middle and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

2.8% of students exceeded standard while 12.2% met it. That exceeded rate is 14.6 points below the state average of 17.3%. That's 11.0 points below the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified district average of 13.7%. The 1 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 14.0% exceeded — 11.3 points higher. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" can reveal how much a school's curriculum challenges students beyond proficiency.

Proficiency drops by 3.6 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

California's Dashboard shows ELA performance declined and Math increased year-over-year. 21.8% of English learners reached Level 4 (Well Developed) on ELPAC.

Chronic absenteeism is 23.9%, above the state average of 19.3%.
