Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
28 points separate BP STEM Academy (50) from Charles Bursch Elementary (21) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
9 elementary schools span 28 points around an average of 32.7.
BP STEM Academy (50/100) holds the Strong band — 31.3% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 14.6%.
28 points separate the top and bottom elementary schools — the district average won't predict the school in front of you.
The middle years
The middle schools average 31.2/100 — 7.4 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
3 middle schools span 14 points around an average of 31.2.
Sierra Vista Middle is the strongest option at 38/100 — 13.9% of its students exceed the state standard.
1 of 3 middle schools sits in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.
The high school years
38 points separate Sierra Vista High (59) from North Park Continuation High (21) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
38 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 4 high schools — the average hides more than it tells.
2 continuation/alternative schools not plotted — they rank within their own class, not on this statewide axis.
Sierra Vista High is the strongest option at 59/100 — 24.6% of its students exceed the state standard.
32.2% 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 BP STEM Academy at 50/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
1 of the 16 ranked schools is a charter — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — 2 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.
