CDE CAASPP 2025

The headline number: 64.3% of students scored in the top band on the state test. The California average is 15.8%.

Worth a school visit

Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.

  • 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.

What gets spent here

Per-pupil spendingPer-pupil spending: $12,775, CA average $14,815$12,775 · spent at this school
