Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “49% proficient” and call it done. Ventura Charter School of Arts and Global Educatio deserves a closer read. It sits at the 60th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.
As a charter, Ventura Charter School of Arts and Global Educatio enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
