Triton Academy: A special education center. No Scope Score publishes here.

A Scope Score ranks schools a family can choose between. At Triton Academy, students are placed here by an IEP team, not by address and not by lottery — so a comparative rank would measure something a family's choice never entered. We show what California reports and hold the rank.

Triton Academy is a special education center in Camarillo, California. SchoolScope publishes no Scope Score, performance band, archetype or ranking for schools where enrollment is assigned rather than chosen, so its CDE CAASPP 2025 results appear here unranked.

Every figure below is California's own, reported for this school and shown without a rank. Why we withhold a score →

19 students were tested here on last year's CAASPP. 22.7% met or exceeded the standard; 0.0% exceeded it.

Chronic absenteeism ran 33.6%; the suspension rate was 2.6%. California reports both the same way it does for every school — this page just doesn't rank them here.

Worth a conversation

If a placement here is part of a child's IEP, this page is background, not the decision — the IEP team meeting is where fit actually gets decided.

  • Ask how this placement was determined, and what the annual IEP review looks at.
  • Ask what related services — speech, occupational therapy, counseling — are provided on site.
  • Ask how and when a return to a less-restrictive setting gets reconsidered.

Worth Knowing

What we can't show
  • — No Scope Score, performance band, archetype, or state rank publishes for this school — enrollment here is assigned, not chosen, so a comparative rank would mean something different than it does for a neighborhood school. See the Enrollment Axiom at /methodology#peer-class.
  • — No subgroup comparison could be shown for this school this year — either its group sizes fall under CDE's 15-student reporting floor, or district/state comparison data wasn't available for its groups.
