See full methodology.

Q: Is Twin Peaks Middle getting better or worse?

SchoolScope compares Twin Peaks Middle's grade 6 results in 2024 with its grade 8 results in 2026, using school-level test aggregates. Students are not matched across years, and enrollment changes can affect the comparison. SchoolScope middle standardized cohort gain: approximately 39th percentile on a calibrated reference scale, not an empirical school rank. This score compares school-level grade groups across ELA and Math, not matched students in California's separate growth model. It describes an aggregate change; it cannot establish how individual students progressed or what caused it. See full methodology.

Q: What do attendance and suspension records show for Twin Peaks Middle?

CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 7.2% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 84 chronically absent of 1,172 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 2.3%; 27 unduplicated suspended students of 1,178 cumulative enrollment. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.

Q: How does Twin Peaks Middle compare to other schools in Poway?

Twin Peaks Middle is in the 70th percentile (Solid) of California’s regular public and charter middle 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 1,164 students. Use the schools in Poway page or the map view to compare nearby middle schools.

Q: What do reported student-group results show at Twin Peaks Middle?

At Twin Peaks Middle in Poway, 36% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) in grades 6–8 scored Proficient or Advanced (formerly Met or Exceeded) in reading and writing in spring 2026, compared with 47% across the district and 39% across California for the same group in the same grades. That is 11 points below the district rate for the same group. Also: low-income students, 27% in math; White students, 65% in reading and writing. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP, spring 2026. 210 low-income students tested in reading and writing. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.

Q: What high school does Twin Peaks Middle feed into?

In the 2015–16 federal attendance-boundary survey, most of Twin Peaks Middle's attendance area fell inside the attendance area of Poway High. Poway High is in the 81st percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter high schools on its 2025 Scope Score. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education’s School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

The state’s growth measure938 students in English, 945 in math · grades 6–8 · 2025

English−9ptsCDE level: Moderate (2 of 5)

Math−6ptsCDE level: Moderate (2 of 5)

What the number means. California predicts each student’s score from that student’s own English and math scores the year before, based on how students with similar scores did across the state. Zero would mean students here scored as predicted. In English they scored 9 points below that prediction, and in math 6 points below it.

The levels. CDE sorts every school’s result into five levels, from Minimal to Exceptional. The bar under each number shows where this school landed.

Two years at once. For most schools, this one included, CDE’s figure blends the two most recent years of growth, so it moves more slowly than a single year’s scores.

Why our growth can differ. The growth in our Scope Score asks a different question. It doesn’t follow individual students: it compares the latest grade 8 scores here with the school’s grade 6 scores two years earlier, and places that change among California schools at the same level. Children who joined or left the school in between count in ours; the state’s counts only students who took California’s test the year before. So the two can point different ways.

Ask: Math is lower than in 2015 here (55% to 44%), while across California it went from 33% to 37%. How does the school check what’s working in math?

See full methodology.

Is Twin Peaks Middle getting better or worse?

SchoolScope compares Twin Peaks Middle's grade 6 results in 2024 with its grade 8 results in 2026, using school-level test aggregates. Students are not matched across years, and enrollment changes can affect the comparison. SchoolScope middle standardized cohort gain: approximately 39th percentile on a calibrated reference scale, not an empirical school rank. This score compares school-level grade groups across ELA and Math, not matched students in California's separate growth model. It describes an aggregate change; it cannot establish how individual students progressed or what caused it. See full methodology.

What do attendance and suspension records show for Twin Peaks Middle?

CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 7.2% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 84 chronically absent of 1,172 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 2.3%; 27 unduplicated suspended students of 1,178 cumulative enrollment. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.

How does Twin Peaks Middle compare to other schools in Poway?

Twin Peaks Middle is in the 70th percentile (Solid) of California’s regular public and charter middle 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 1,164 students. Use the schools in Poway page or the map view to compare nearby middle schools.

What do reported student-group results show at Twin Peaks Middle?

At Twin Peaks Middle in Poway, 36% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) in grades 6–8 scored Proficient or Advanced (formerly Met or Exceeded) in reading and writing in spring 2026, compared with 47% across the district and 39% across California for the same group in the same grades. That is 11 points below the district rate for the same group. Also: low-income students, 27% in math; White students, 65% in reading and writing. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP, spring 2026. 210 low-income students tested in reading and writing. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.

What high school does Twin Peaks Middle feed into?

In the 2015–16 federal attendance-boundary survey, most of Twin Peaks Middle's attendance area fell inside the attendance area of Poway High. Poway High is in the 81st percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter high schools on its 2025 Scope Score. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education’s School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Each year names its school year end (2026 = 2025–26). “Students with scores” is the subject-specific rate denominator; ELA and Math counts must not be added. The 2015–2018 rows were checked against CDE’s original research files. The 2015 and 2016 files report whole percentages; later rows round to one decimal here. Older stored rows from other years still need independent original-file re-verification. A dash is unavailable, not zero. Before spring 2026, Advanced was reported as Exceeded and proficient or advanced as met or exceeded.

CDE reports scale-score points versus its growth-model prediction — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a valid growth score. SchoolScope uses that threshold for the shorter narrative view; the reported values stay visible here. “Not categorised” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. Long-Term English Learner counts cover grades 6-8 only (CDE), so that row is not comparable to the All Students row. CDE labels at least one imported estimate here WEIGHTED; that describes its aggregation method, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points versus its prediction for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California middle school records, the median ELA estimate is −2 and the middle half fall between −10 and +5 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read its position among reported schools, not the sign. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8 and is not part of the Scope Score.

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.

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.
