The hatched block marks years with no comparable state test results. Each spring tests a different group of students. Between 26 and 56 students were tested here each year in each subject. With 26 students, one student is 4 points, so each year is a dot and no line joins them. Source: California Department of Education, state tests (CAASPP).
The top two levels were called Met or Exceeded before 2026 and are called Proficient or Advanced now.

English learners and students with disabilities: fewer than 30 tested here.
