Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
One elementary school: Bishop Elementary at 32/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Bishop Elementary is the strongest option at 32/100 — 12.6% of its students exceed the state standard.
23.8% 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: Home Street Middle at 46/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
1 of the 1 middle schools with measurable cohort evidence rank as Growth Engines — returning cohorts gaining more, grade to grade, than at most schools statewide.
The suspension rate averages 7.9% against 3.6% statewide — worth a direct question on a visit.
The high school years
One high school: Bishop Union High at 55/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Bishop Union High is the strongest option at 55/100 — 15.6% of its students exceed the state standard.
The suspension rate averages 4.3% against 3.3% statewide — worth a direct question on a visit.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Bishop Elementary at 32/100 — 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 — 1 campus here ranks as Growth Engine, its 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.
