Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “64% proficient” and call it done. Vibrant Minds Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Anaheim, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: +11.8pp separates this year's grade 3 from its grade 5. The state average rises 4.5pp over the same span. Following the same students from 2023 G3 → 2025 G5 points the same way.
As a charter, Vibrant Minds Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
