Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
🌱 Building Momentum — This label means the data doesn't clearly sort the school one way or the other — ask what the school is proud of, and what it's working on.
Most rating sites would stop at “37% proficient” and call it done. Tracy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Tracy, where three in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Slipped from the 46th to the 38th percentile since 2019.
This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 37% meet the standard today, versus 46% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.

The 7 things our score weighs
Ask how the school challenges kids who clear the standard early. The gap between meeting and exceeding is where pacing shows.
- 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.
