Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
One elementary school: Borrego Springs Elementary at 29/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Borrego Springs Elementary is the strongest option at 29/100 — 7.7% of its students exceed the state standard.
24.9% 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: Borrego Springs Middle at 25/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Borrego Springs Middle is the strongest option at 25/100 — 4.7% of its students exceed the state standard.
1 of 1 middle schools sits in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.
The high school years
The path ends on a single bet: Borrego Springs High at 45, then a 32-point drop to the next of 2 high schools.
32 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 2 high schools — the average hides more than it tells.
1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.
Borrego Springs High is the strongest option at 45/100 — 11.1% of its students exceed the state standard.
43.8% 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 Borrego Springs Elementary at 29/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
1 of the 4 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 — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
