California is CDE’s statewide math row for each grade, counting every student tested there; the comparisons in the chapters combine these rows for their grades, weighted by students tested (our calculation).

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.

Reading screening in kindergarten through grade 2What the law requires, and what to ask

California law requires schools to screen kindergartners through second graders for reading difficulties every year, with some exceptions. You get notice at least 15 days before, results within 45 days, and can opt out in writing.

Kindergartners can’t be screened before the 91st school day; transitional kindergarten isn’t covered.

If screening shows your child may be at risk for reading difficulties, the school must provide supports. That result isn’t a diagnosis, and screening can’t be used to delay a special-education evaluation.

Ask how many K–2 students screening found at risk last year, and how many got extra reading help.

How the credential rate is counted

CDE SARC report 2024–25, measured 2021–22: 42% of teaching positions, 39.5 properly credentialed teaching-position FTE out of 94 total position FTE. This measures positions, not individual teachers.

In its own words

What does Yosemite Valley Charter’s own plan commit to?

Its 2026–27 plan

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

$45.1 million

planned for 22 funded actions in 4 goals. That’s all of its 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, 122 pages), as posted to the California School Dashboard.

Where the money goes

Three actions take 77% of the money. The plan itself puts 76% of it toward staff.

Highly Qualified Staff $24.4 million
Instructional Materials and Expanded Learning Opportunities $7.3 million
MTSS Program: Coordination, Support and Supplies $3.1 million
19 other actions

Reading, math and catch-up help

4 of the plan’s 22 funded actions name reading, math, catch-up help or English learners in their titles.

Catch-up help $3.7 million
English learners $0.9 million

Largest of these

MTSS Program: Coordination, Support and Supplies$3.1 million
English Learner Support: Progress and Achievement Support$912,806
Learning Recovery Block Grant$457,761

For high-need students

It plans $7.2 million in extra services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. For 2025–26, it planned $6.1 million and estimates it spent $7.3 million, $1.2 million (19%) more than planned (our arithmetic).

What changed

The total is $5.0 million (13%) higher than in the 2025–26 plan. The biggest change in dollars is Highly Qualified Staff, which went from $21.2 million to $24.4 million.

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: 66% in English and 43% in math, spring 2026.

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

English, every tested grade: Proficient or Advanced in 2025–26, met or exceeded in 2024–25Goals 1 and 4	51%	51%	no change

Suspended at least onceGoal 3	0 of 3,228	0 of 3,400	no change

Goal 2 isn’t shown because it tracks other measures.

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.

Index is where the school's value sits among the California high schools we score, from 0 to 100, where 50 is their average; it is not a percentile. School values are from 2024–25. Chronic absence and suspension are CDE's all-students school rates; the score uses an adjusted version of each that pulls small schools toward the average, so their index can sit nearer 50 than the rate suggests.

CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a valid growth score. SchoolScope uses that threshold for the shorter narrative view; the reported values stay visible here. “Not categorized” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. At least one estimate here is a CDE weighted estimate; that describes how CDE combines years, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California elementary school records, the median English estimate is +2 and the middle half fall between −5 and +9 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read the figure against it, not its sign alone. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8, and it is not part of the Scope Score.

AP pathway among CCI Prepared studentsCDE College/Career Indicator · CCI source year 2025 · all students · AP pathway rate 4% · AP-pathway numerator 2 · denominator 46 (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.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is the college-readiness factor in the Scope Score (20% of the high school score). The school rate is 46 of 110 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate. 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.

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 $5,010,267 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.
