Trabuco Hills High

Q: Is Trabuco Hills High a good high school?

Trabuco Hills High is in the 83rd percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. Its Scope Score is 70 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In 2024–25, 98% of the class graduated in four years (585 of 596); across California, 89%. The Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Q: What are Trabuco Hills High's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2025, 76% of students tested in grade 11 met or exceeded the English standard and 52% the math standard; 43% and 28% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 57% and 30% met or exceeded, 27% and 14% exceeded. 567 students were tested in English and 570 in math (CDE CAASPP 2024–25; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

Q: How does Trabuco Hills High rank in California?

Trabuco Hills High is in the 83rd percentile of 1,500 California comprehensive high schools (Strong, 2025). Trabuco Hills High ranks #250 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. 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.

Q: What do attendance and suspension records show for Trabuco Hills High?

CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 19.9% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 501 chronically absent of 2,517 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 1.5%; 38 unduplicated suspended students of 2,544 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 20.2%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 1.6%. These are model inputs, not CDE's reported rates. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.

Q: How does Trabuco Hills High compare to other schools in Mission Viejo?

Trabuco Hills High is in the 83rd percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter high schools.

The school serves 2,475 students. Use the schools in Mission Viejo page or the map view to compare nearby high schools.

Q: What AP courses are offered at Trabuco Hills High?

Trabuco Hills High had own-school AP authorizations for 26 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Computer Science A, Computer Science Principles, Drawing, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, European History, French Language and Culture, German Language and Culture, Human Geography, Macroeconomics, Music Theory, Physics 1, Physics C: Mechanics, Precalculus, Psychology, Spanish Language and Culture, Spanish Literature and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History, World History: Modern. The audit records authorization, not whether a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Q: How many students from Trabuco Hills High go to UC?

In fall 2025, 55 Trabuco Hills 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.

Each gap is to the same group, grades and subject: in Saddleback Valley Unified, and across California. ■ Green: a group that is behind statewide does much better here, by 10 points or more and more than twice the margin of error.

Filipino, homeless and military-family students and English learners: fewer than 30 tested here. No published rate here for Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native and Pacific Islander students and foster youth. That can reflect privacy rules or small numbers; it isn’t evidence of a gap. This table covers groups by income, race or ethnicity, language and disability; girls and boys aren’t split out.

Low-income and Hispanic or Latino students and students with disabilities here did far better than the same groups statewide.

Read the student-group results as sentences

At Trabuco Hills High in Mission Viejo, 62.3% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025 for reported grade 11, compared to 50.8% district-wide for those same grades and 48.7% statewide for those same grades.

Other subgroups: low-income students (36.7% met or exceeded the Math standard); White students (80.6% met or exceeded the ELA standard). The widest gap between a student group’s met-or-exceeded rate and the school-wide rate is 72.5 percentage points: English learners in ELA.

Common questions

Is Trabuco Hills High a good high school?

Trabuco Hills High is in the 83rd percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. Its Scope Score is 70 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In 2024–25, 98% of the class graduated in four years (585 of 596); across California, 89%. The Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.

What are Trabuco Hills High's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2025, 76% of students tested in grade 11 met or exceeded the English standard and 52% the math standard; 43% and 28% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 57% and 30% met or exceeded, 27% and 14% exceeded. 567 students were tested in English and 570 in math (CDE CAASPP 2024–25; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

How does Trabuco Hills High rank in California?

Trabuco Hills High is in the 83rd percentile of 1,500 California comprehensive high schools (Strong, 2025). Trabuco Hills High ranks #250 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. 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 do attendance and suspension records show for Trabuco Hills High?

CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 19.9% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 501 chronically absent of 2,517 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 1.5%; 38 unduplicated suspended students of 2,544 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 20.2%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 1.6%. These are model inputs, not CDE's reported rates. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.

How does Trabuco Hills High compare to other schools in Mission Viejo?

Trabuco Hills High is in the 83rd percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 2,475 students. Use the schools in Mission Viejo page or the map view to compare nearby high schools.

What do reported student-group results show at Trabuco Hills High?

What AP courses are offered at Trabuco Hills High?

Trabuco Hills High had own-school AP authorizations for 26 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Computer Science A, Computer Science Principles, Drawing, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, European History, French Language and Culture, German Language and Culture, Human Geography, Macroeconomics, Music Theory, Physics 1, Physics C: Mechanics, Precalculus, Psychology, Spanish Language and Culture, Spanish Literature and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History, World History: Modern. The audit records authorization, not whether a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.

How many students from Trabuco Hills High go to UC?

In fall 2025, 55 Trabuco Hills 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.

In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is this version's 20% high-school college-readiness score factor. The school rate is 408 of 596 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate.

These are retrospective calculations using earlier test results and current school levels and comparison classes. Each year's rank and percentile use that year's measured school group. They do not form a trend across different score models.

The legacy high-school model uses 2024–25 graduation records. Its readiness input uses the 2025 AP pathway share among Prepared students when available; otherwise it uses 2024–25 A-G completion. A reported zero remains zero. These inputs do not describe graduation or readiness in the earlier assessment years. The newer 2025 model instead uses CDE's overall Prepared rate.

Historical ELPAC inputs are absent from these calculations. Missing factor weights are redistributed proportionally among available factors. Adjusted climate values are SchoolScope scoring inputs, distinct from the state’s reported rates.

CDE reported all-students (TA) school rates for 2024 and 2025; the change is 2025 minus 2024 in percentage points.

ShowHide 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.

Selected General Fund operating costs · FY 2024–25 · SchoolScope calculation

Instruction 65%Instruction support 12%Student services 9%Administration 5%Buildings & maintenance 8%Other 1%

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.
