Most rating sites would stop at “5% proficient” and call it done. Village Oaks deserves a closer read. The school sits in Stockton, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
Test scores are one lens, and at this school they're a rough one right now. The sections below show the fuller picture — including the parts that are working.

What are Village Oaks High's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 4.8% of students at Village Oaks High met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 0.8% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 4.0% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 0.8% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

How does Village Oaks High rank in California?
Village Oaks High ranks #1,306 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 25th percentile. 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 is the attendance and school culture like at Village Oaks High?
50.4% of students at Village Oaks High are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 32.1%. The suspension rate is 11.3%. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Village Oaks High compare to other schools in Stockton?
