Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025

Slipped from the 34th to the 22nd percentile since 2019.

Most rating sites would stop at “20% proficient” and call it done. WESM Health/Sports Medicine deserves a closer read. Four in five of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — 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.

WESM Health/Sports Medicine scores 44 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 22nd percentile of 1,647 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 20% meet the standard today, versus 27% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.

Worth knowing

At 589 students, this school is much smaller than the typical California high school (≈1450).

On the state's science test (CAST), 13% met or exceeded the standard — science is tested in grades 5 and 8 and once in high school, and it never enters the Scope Score.

Worth a school visit

Ask what changed in the last two years, and what the school is asking families for. Growth shows up in these numbers a year or two after it shows up in classrooms.

  • Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside it.
  • Ask what share of students complete the full college-prep course sequence, and who gets steered into it.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
  • Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
  • Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is WESM Health/Sports Medicine a good high school?
WESM Health/Sports Medicine has a Scope Score of 44 out of 100, placing it in the 22nd percentile of California high schools and ranked #1,286 statewide. 4.5% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 15.3 percentage points below the California average of 19.8%. The Scope Score weights 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate (25%), exceeded standard (22%), college/career readiness (20%), met or exceeded (proficient) (18%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are WESM Health/Sports Medicine's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 20.5% of students at WESM Health/Sports Medicine met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 4.5% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 15.9% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 4.5% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 264 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does WESM Health/Sports Medicine rank in California?
WESM Health/Sports Medicine ranks #1,286 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 22nd 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 WESM Health/Sports Medicine?
45.1% of students at WESM Health/Sports Medicine are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 4.3%. 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 WESM Health/Sports Medicine compare to other schools in Los Angeles?
WESM Health/Sports Medicine scores 44/100 (22nd percentile) among California high schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 589 students. Use the schools in Los Angeles page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.
How does WESM Health/Sports Medicine serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At WESM Health/Sports Medicine in Los Angeles, 31.5% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 40.9% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. WESM Health/Sports Medicine trails its district average for low-income students by 9.4 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (5.6% Math proficient); Black students (36.7% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 30.9 percentage points for disabilities students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 108 students tested. 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.
