The California School Campus Database records Crenshaw Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine Magnet and ICEF View Park Preparatory Middle on this campus too; it gives each school the whole campus, so this drawing doesn’t show which buildings each uses.
Drawn from OpenStreetMap, with building heights from LA County, inside the campus outline from the California School Campus Database (2025). Volunteers map it, so a new building may be missing. Buildings with no mapped height are drawn one storey high.
A picture of the campus, not an attendance boundary or a rating.
Schools maintain a closed campus policy. For students’ safety, visitors may enter a campus only with the school’s official permission; this drawing implies no permission to enter.
In 2024–25, 60% of the class graduated in four years (12 of 20); across California’s continuation high schools, 75%.
Overview
45% of the 11 students tested met or exceeded the standard in English (reading and writing); 9% did in math. In grade 11, spring 2025, 45% of the 11 students tested met or exceeded the standard in English, against 57% across California. In math, 9% did, against 30% across California. Fewer than 30 students tested, so one year’s result can change a lot. Ask how results looked in other years.

A dash means fewer than 20 people answered, or the survey file we hold gives no share for the question.
Los Angeles Unified School District, School Experience Survey 2025–26 (researcher file). Students in grades 4–12 take it; some questions go only to older grades.
Los Angeles Unified publishes no minimum number of answers. We show a question only when at least 20 people answered it, and a group only when at least 10% of it responded, so the answers speak for more than the few who chose to reply. Los Angeles Unified’s figures cover all its schools at each level, so they aren’t shown beside this school.
Fewer than 20 people answered each family question here, so those answers aren’t shown.
Fewer than 20 people answered each staff question here, so those answers aren’t shown.
Each row shows the percentage its label describes. For a theme, such as one marked “average of 5 questions”, we average the percentages for its questions, the way Los Angeles Unified averages its own topics. Each lane lists every question with its own percentage.

The 2024–25 Scope Score uses the state’s college-or-career readiness measure, 2024–25, and is not published for this school. Earlier scores are shown under the earlier formula. The two formulas differ, so their scores do not form one trend.
| School year | Scope Score | Percentile | Rank | Comparison group |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018–19 | 19 | 30 | #238 | California continuation high schools · 343 schools · earlier formula |
| 2021–22 | 17 | 19 | #270 | California continuation high schools · 335 schools · earlier formula |

| 2023–24 | 19 | 25 | #246 | California continuation high schools · 332 schools · earlier formula |
2024–25 has records on file but no Scope Score we could verify against that year’s source files, so no score is shown for it.
Earlier-formula years are retrospective calculations using earlier test results and current school levels and comparison classes. Each year's rank and percentile use that year's measured school group. They do not form a trend across different score formulas.
The earlier high-school formula uses 2024–25 graduation records. Its readiness input uses the 2024–25 AP pathway share among Prepared students when available; otherwise it uses 2024–25 A-G completion. A reported zero remains zero. These inputs do not describe graduation or readiness in the earlier assessment years. The current formula instead uses the state’s college-or-career readiness measure (its overall Prepared rate).
Historical ELPAC inputs are absent from these calculations. Missing factor weights are redistributed proportionally among available factors. Adjusted climate values are SchoolScope scoring inputs, distinct from the state’s reported rates.

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 school CCI rate has its own student cohort and source year.
These source periods and populations differ: graduation uses an adjusted cohort, while A–G completion and college-going use separately reported groups. The rates are shown individually, without a shared performance tier.

These figures are not directly comparable: school ESSA attributed spending and NCES district current expense use different measures and populations. Their fiscal years are labeled above.
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.
