William J. Johnston Community Day: A community day school. No Scope Score publishes here.
A Scope Score ranks schools a family can choose between. At William J. Johnston Community Day, students are placed here after expulsion or by district or probation referral — so a comparative rank would measure something a family's choice never entered. We show what California reports and hold the rank.

William J. Johnston Community Day is a community day school in San Pedro, California. SchoolScope publishes no Scope Score, performance band, archetype or ranking for schools where enrollment is assigned rather than chosen, so its CDE CAASPP 2025 results appear here unranked.
33 students were tested here on last year's CAASPP. 0.0% met or exceeded the standard; 0.0% exceeded it.
Chronic absenteeism ran 54.0%; the suspension rate was 1.6%. California reports both the same way it does for every school — this page just doesn't rank them here.
Families don't choose a court or community school off this page — a student arrives through the court, a probation department, or a district referral. For a specific student, the county office of education or the district's alternative-education office is the right first call.
- Ask how credits earned here transfer back to a student's home school.
- Ask what continuity of services looks like when a student moves between this program and a comprehensive campus.
- Ask what happens to a student's education plan after they leave.
