Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
The elementary schools average 30.7/100 — 8.2 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
7 elementary schools span 11 points around an average of 30.7.
Victor F. Hodge Elementary is the strongest option at 37/100 — 15.5% of its students exceed the state standard.
24.1% of students are chronically absent (state: 17.9%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
The middle years
One middle school: Gladstone Middle at 22/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Gladstone Middle is the strongest option at 22/100 — 7.0% of its students exceed the state standard.
23.6% of students are chronically absent (state: 18.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
The high school years
The high schools average 42.0/100 — 11.9 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
2 high schools span 11 points around an average of 42.0.
1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.
Azusa High is the strongest option at 48/100 — 11.7% of its students exceed the state standard.
43.1% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Victor F. Hodge Elementary at 37/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
No charters or magnets among the ranked schools here, so the main lever is an intra-district transfer — California districts run them on their own windows and criteria. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, ask the district office for this year's dates.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — 5 campuses here rank as On the Rise, their returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
