Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
One elementary school: Caliber: Beta Academy at 28/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Students are showing up: chronic absenteeism runs 14.7% against a state average of 17.9%.
The level sits 11.1 points below the state line.
The middle years
The middle schools average 23.1/100 — 15.5 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
2 middle schools span 11 points around an average of 23.1.
Making Waves Academy is the strongest option at 29/100 — 10.8% of its students exceed the state standard.
26.1% 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 sit at the state line (57.1 vs 54.0) — the 20-point school-to-school spread is where the choice lives.
3 high schools span 20 points around an average of 57.1.
Clayton Valley Charter High (66/100) holds the Strong band — 24.6% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 17.4%. 1 school classifies as Strong All-Around — no weak dimension we measure.
The suspension rate averages 5.1% 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. Every ranked elementary school here is a charter or magnet, so the application matters more than the address — see the next card.
6 of the 6 ranked schools are charters — 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.
