Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025
Has stayed near the 61st percentile since 2019.
Most rating sites would stop at “46% proficient” and call it done. Temescal Canyon deserves a closer read. Two-thirds of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
Temescal Canyon's low-income kids hit 56.6% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.

UC is one road of many — the full destination mix for the class of 2023 is below. And who applied isn't who the school taught: the ratio between the two reflects the self-selected pool of students who chose to apply, not what happened in the classroom. By the state's 2023 count, 68% of this class's predecessors enrolled in college somewhere within a year. More of the class of 2023 enrolled at community colleges (157) than at UC (28).

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.

Worth a school visit
Ask how the school challenges kids who clear the standard early. The gap between meeting and exceeding is where pacing shows.
- Ask whether extra support — tutoring, counseling, small groups — reaches kids across income lines, not just the students already ahead.
- Ask what share of students complete the full college-prep course sequence, and who gets steered into 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 Temescal Canyon High a good high school?
Temescal Canyon High has a Scope Score of 56 out of 100, placing it in the 61st percentile of California high schools and ranked #642 statewide. 17.4% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 2.4 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 Temescal Canyon High's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 45.9% of students at Temescal Canyon High met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 17.4% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 28.5% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 17.4% 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. 957 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Temescal Canyon High rank in California?
Temescal Canyon High ranks #642 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 61st 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 Temescal Canyon High?
23.3% of students at Temescal Canyon High are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 3.2%. 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 Temescal Canyon High compare to other schools in Lake Elsinore?
Temescal Canyon High scores 56/100 (61st 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 2,373 students. Use the schools in Lake Elsinore page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.
How does Temescal Canyon High serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Temescal Canyon High in Lake Elsinore, 56.6% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 33.6% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Temescal Canyon High outperforms its district average for low-income students by 23.1 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (23.7% Math proficient); Hispanic students (53.7% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 60.0 percentage points for english learner students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 316 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.
What AP courses are offered at Temescal Canyon High?
Temescal Canyon High's teachers are authorized to teach 13 of the 40 AP subjects the College Board offers, per the 2025 - 2026 AP Course Audit: Art History, Calculus AB, Computer Science A, Computer Science Principles, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Human Geography, Physics 1, Psychology, Spanish Language and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, World History: Modern. Authorization means the school may teach a course, not that a section is running this year, and it's separate from AP exam pass rates. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.
How many students from Temescal Canyon High go to UC?
In fall 2025, 43 Temescal Canyon 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.
