High schools are scored on their own scale — never ranked against other levels.
The high school years
55 points separate Oak Ridge High (76) from Independence Continuation (22) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
55 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 6 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.
Oak Ridge High (76/100) holds the Strong band — 41.1% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 23.1%. 1 school classifies as Strong All-Around — no weak dimension we measure.
The suspension rate averages 6.2% against 3.3% statewide — worth a direct question on a visit.
What it means for your family
The 55-point spread means the district average is nearly meaningless for an address decision — the zoned high school is the whole decision. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Oak Ridge High at 76/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
1 of the 6 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 it is doing about attendance, and what the classroom looks like for a kid who arrives ahead.
