Common questions

Is University Preparatory High a good high school?
University Preparatory High is in the 96th percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. Its Scope Score is 85 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In 2024–25, 96% of the class graduated in four years (65 of 68); 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 University Preparatory High's CAASPP test scores?
In spring 2025, 89% of students tested in grade 11 met or exceeded the English standard and 73% the math standard; 60% and 40% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 57% and 30% met or exceeded, 27% and 14% exceeded. 45 students were tested in English and 45 in math (CDE CAASPP 2024–25; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).
How does University Preparatory High rank in California?
University Preparatory High is in the 96th percentile of 1,500 California comprehensive high schools (Strong, 2025). University Preparatory High ranks #53 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 University Preparatory High?
CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 3.1% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 8 chronically absent of 257 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 1.1%; 3 unduplicated suspended students of 262 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 10.2%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 1.7%. 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 University Preparatory High compare to other schools in Visalia?
University Preparatory High is in the 96th 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 253 students. Use the schools in Visalia page or the map view to compare nearby high schools.
What do reported student-group results show at University Preparatory High?
At University Preparatory High in Visalia, 90.0% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025 for reported grade 11, compared to 52.1% district-wide for those same grades and 48.7% statewide for those same grades. University Preparatory High’s rate for low-income students exceeds its district average by 37.9 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: low-income students (70.0% met or exceeded the Math standard); White students (100.0% met or exceeded the ELA standard). The widest gap between a student group’s met-or-exceeded rate and the school-wide rate is 20.4 percentage points: Hispanic students in Math. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 20 ELA grade test records. 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.

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.

Each year names its school year end (2025 = 2024–25). “Students with scores” is the subject-specific rate denominator; ELA and Math counts must not be added. Earlier years are stored SchoolScope CDE records whose original files still need independent re-verification; a dash is unavailable, not zero.

These source periods and populations differ: graduation uses an adjusted cohort, while A-G completion and college-going use separately reported groups. The rates are shown individually, without a shared performance tier.

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.

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.
