Templeton Independent Study High and Templeton Home share this address in the state’s school directory. The California School Campus Database maps the grounds as one campus. Which buildings each school uses here isn’t mapped.

The California School Campus Database records Eagle Canyon High on this campus too; it gives each school the whole campus, so this drawing doesn’t show which buildings each uses.

Drawn from OpenStreetMap, inside the campus outline from the California School Campus Database (2025). Volunteers map it, so a new building may be missing. Buildings with no mapped height are drawn one storey high.

Schools maintain a closed campus policy. For students’ safety, visitors may enter a campus only with the school’s official permission; this drawing implies no permission to enter.

One more thing to know

15 of 127 students missed 10% or more of school days in 2025–26, close to the average Templeton Unified high school.

Each bar is Templeton Independent Study’s place among 1,491 California public high schools we score. Our calculation from California Department of Education records, updated October 15, 2026.

How to read these bars, and their sources

A place counts the schools out of 100 with a lower figure. The dashed line is the middle. Test results are from spring 2026, grade 11. Attendance counts students who missed 10% or more of school days; fewer is better, so a higher place means fewer such students.

Where these figures come fromEach measure’s source, student group and definition
Graduated in four years
2025–26 · 33 of 38 students who started 9th grade together. California Department of Education, adjusted cohort graduation records. Comparison is SchoolScope’s combination of graduates and cohort counts across the reference schools, not CDE’s published state rate.
Ready for college or career (state measure)
2025–26 · 7 of 38 students in the state’s measure. California Department of Education, College/Career Indicator (CCI), overall “Prepared” rate, among the students in the indicator’s group. Prepared is CDE’s overall classification, not AP participation or a college admission rate. CDE’s 2026 indicator also counts Cambridge International courses and exams, International Baccalaureate (IB) courses as well as exams, an ASVAB score for students in Leadership/Military Science, and work-based learning or the State Seal of Civic Engagement paired with another measure, so its 2026 Prepared rate uses broader criteria than the 2025 published rate.
Finished the UC/CSU course list
2025–26 · 1 of 33 graduates finished the UC/CSU course list. California Department of Education, A–G completion records (graduates who met the UC/CSU course requirements). Course completion is separate from college enrollment.
Where students who finished high school went
CDE college-going records, class of 2023. College enrollment is counted for 12 months after finishing high school and matched to college records, so this runs about two years behind. A dash is unavailable, not zero.

Index is where the school's value sits among the California high schools we score, from 0 to 100, where 50 is their average; it is not a percentile. School values are from 2025–26. Chronic absence and suspension are CDE's all-students school rates; the score uses an adjusted version of each that pulls small schools toward the average, so their index can sit nearer 50 than the rate suggests. The weights above add to 95%: English learners reaching the top level of the state’s English test has no value for this school, so its 5% weight is shared out among the measures above.

2024–25 was scored under an earlier high-school formula that used CDE’s 2025 College/Career Indicator. CDE has since added routes that count as ready for college or career, so that score is not shown beside the current one and the two do not form a trend.

Each year names its school year end (2026 = 2025–26). “Students with scores” counts each subject on its own, so don’t add the English and math counts together. A dash is unavailable, not zero.

Current 2025–26 grade results appear above. “Students with scores” counts the students tested in that grade, subject and year. A missing result is not zero, and each year’s row is a different group of children.

AP pathway among CCI Prepared studentsCDE College/Career Indicator · CCI source year 2026 · all students · AP pathway rate 29% · AP-pathway numerator 2 · denominator 7 (CCI Prepared students). This measure uses Prepared students as its denominator, not the whole CCI cohort; it is not an AP exam-taking rate or a count of AP courses offered. That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2026 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects. CDE’s 2026 indicator also counts Cambridge International courses and exams, International Baccalaureate (IB) courses as well as exams, an ASVAB score for students in Leadership/Military Science, and work-based learning or the State Seal of Civic Engagement paired with another measure, so its 2026 Prepared rate uses broader criteria than the 2025 published rate.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is the college-readiness factor in the Scope Score (20% of the high school score). The school rate is 7 of 38 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.

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.

These shares are our arithmetic: each group’s dollars divided by the $32,584,731 total of the groups shown, rounded to whole percents by largest remainder so they add up to 100. Dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar, so they can differ from the total by a dollar. SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
