Common questions
Why doesn't The Buckley School have a Scope Score?
Private schools don't take California's state tests (CAASPP), so there is no state testing data for The Buckley School to score. SchoolScope gives private schools no Scope Score, performance band, or rank.
Where do The Buckley School's directory facts come from?
The enrollment, grade-span, and student–teacher figures shown here, when present, come from the NCES Private School Universe Survey 2021-22. That survey-period record is not a current enrollment or inspection report.
What AP courses are offered at The Buckley School?
The Buckley School had own-school AP authorizations for 18 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Chinese Language and Culture, Computer Science A, Computer Science Principles, English Language and Composition, Environmental Science, European History, French Language and Culture, Latin, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Spanish Language and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History. The audit does not establish that a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams.
