Common questions

How do I get in?

Ask Whitmore Charter how it admits students. Charter schools set their own enrollment steps and dates. Evidence ↓

How many students reached the top test level here?

In grade 11, spring 2026, 45% scored Advanced in English (reading and writing) and 5% in math. 23% scored below the standard in English and 82% in math. Evidence ↓

How often do students miss school or get suspended?

4 in 100 students were chronically absent in 2025–26 (4 of 109), meaning they missed 10% or more of school days. 0 of 112 students were suspended at least once in 2025–26. Evidence ↓

Academic achievement

How did students here do on state tests?

77% of the 22 students tested scored Proficient or Advanced in English; 18% did in math.

State tests (CAASPP), grade 11, spring 2026

In grade 11, spring 2026, 77% of the 22 students tested scored Proficient or Advanced in English, against 57% across California. In math, 18% did, against 32% across California. Fewer than 30 students tested, so one year can swing a lot; ask how results looked in other years.

From spring 2026, the state calls its top two levels “Proficient or Advanced” (formerly “Met or Exceeded”).

Where these figures come fromEach measure’s source, student group and definition

Graduated in four years: 2024–25 · 26 of 26 students who started 9th grade together. California Department of Education, adjusted cohort graduation records. Comparison is SchoolScope’s combination of graduates and cohort counts across the reference schools, not CDE’s published state rate.
Ready for college or career (state measure): 2024–25 · 17 of 26 students in the state’s measure. California Department of Education, College/Career Indicator (CCI), overall “Prepared” rate, among the students in the indicator’s group. Prepared is CDE’s overall classification, not AP participation or a college admission rate.
Finished the UC/CSU course list: 2024–25 · 17 of 26 graduates finished the UC/CSU course list. California Department of Education, A–G completion records (graduates who met the UC/CSU course requirements). Course completion is separate from college enrollment.
Where students who finished high school went: CDE college-going records, class of 2023. College enrollment is counted for 12 months after finishing high school and matched to college records, so this runs about two years behind. A dash is unavailable, not zero.

In its own words

What does Whitmore Charter’s own plan commit to?

Its 2026–27 plan

The plan lists what the school commits to spend and measure.

$382,969

planned for 7 funded actions in 3 goals. That’s 21% of its $1.8 million general fund budget. These are planned amounts; the charter school reports what it spent in a later plan.

The 2026–27 plan in short

Source: the charter school’s yearly spending plan (Local Control and Accountability Plan, or LCAP, 76 pages), as posted to the California School Dashboard.

Where the money goes

Three actions take 81% of the money. The plan itself puts 37% of it toward staff.

MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Support)$43,957

For high-need students

It plans $154,222 in extra services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. For 2025–26, it planned $157,691 and estimates it spent $100,309, $57,382 (36%) less than planned (our arithmetic).

Ask: Why did estimated spending on these services come in $57,382 under the 2025–26 plan, and where does that money go in 2026–27?

What changed

The total is $20,923 (5%) lower than in the 2025–26 plan. The biggest change in dollars is College and Career Readiness, which went from $21,811 to $10,000.

What its goals measure

Read these state results for this school as context for the goals they measure; results alone can’t show what the plan caused.

The test rows are schoolwide results for every grade the school tests; the source doesn’t list which grades. The headline at the top of this page covers grade 11 only: 77% in English and 18% in math, spring 2026.

What its goals measure: state results, 2024–25 and 2025–26

Figures from CDE’s state test, chronic absence and suspension files. Test figures cover every grade the school tests (California tests grades 3–8 and 11), so they differ from a profile’s rated grades. Chronically absent means a student missed 10% or more of school days.

A grade the school doesn't teach has no row. “Suppressed” marks a result CDE blanks because fewer than 11 students tested (CDE’s reporting rule); “none tested” marks a grade CDE lists with no students tested; “not on file” marks a result missing from the records we hold. None of them means zero.

Measure	Source record
This school · CCI overall Prepared	CDE College/Career Indicator · CCI source year 2025 · all students · all students in the current four-year graduation cohort, plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort.

AP pathway among CCI Prepared studentsCDE College/Career Indicator · CCI source year 2025 · all students · AP pathway rate 71% · AP-pathway numerator 12 · denominator 17 (CCI Prepared students). This measure uses Prepared students as its denominator, not the whole CCI cohort; it is not an AP exam-taking rate or a count of AP courses offered. That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.

SchoolScope withholds the high-school score and rank because the CDE CCI cohort has fewer than 30 students. A CDE-reported rate, including a true 0%, remains source evidence; it is not a zero score. The California figure is CDE's statewide CCI student cohort, not an average of SchoolScope's comparable high schools or the SchoolScope school-rank pool.

Source: UC admissions by source school. Dated fall first-year UC applicants, admitted students, and enrollees. GPA is each group's mean weighted, capped high-school GPA for 10th/11th-grade college-preparatory courses. SchoolScope leaves GPA unavailable when several CEEB codes contribute rather than combining their means. UC blanks counts under 5 applicants or under 3 admits or enrollees, shown here as “under 5” or “under 3”; — means unavailable, and a reported zero remains zero. A + marks a partial SchoolScope sum of observed counts, not a complete total; missing contributions may be zero. No admit rate is computed here. Complete, matching counts can support a historical descriptive rate, but do not establish a school's effect or predict individual chances. Series shown from 2021.

How the California mean was selected

SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.

These shares are our arithmetic: each group’s dollars divided by the $253,219,208 total of the groups shown, rounded to whole percents by largest remainder so they add up to 100. Dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar, so they can differ from the total by a dollar. SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
