York Alternative Learning Center: The state doesn't publish enough data to score this school fairly.

York Alternative Learning Center is an elementary school in Dublin. The state doesn't publish enough data to score it fairly — so we won't. Here's what we can show.

Alternative school — serves students who benefit from a non-traditional educational setting. Scores are not directly comparable to comprehensive schools.

No Scope Score available

California doesn't publicly report per-grade test results when fewer than 11 students are tested in a grade — a privacy protection for small schools. With 7 students total, this school likely falls below that threshold in most tested grades. We can't compute a Scope Score without that data.

Worth a school visit

With little published data, a visit does the heavy lifting: ask about class sizes, teacher tenure, and where last year's students went next.

  • Ask about typical class sizes and the student-teacher ratio.
  • Ask how long teachers have stayed at the school.
  • Ask where recent graduates or transfers went next.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom, and watch how a lesson actually runs.

Where the path goes

York Alternative Learning Center serves grades K-12 — students can complete their entire K-12 education here, with no school-to-school transitions.
