Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
52 points separate Nelda Mundy Elementary (65) from E. Ruth Sheldon Academy of Innovative Learning (13) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
52 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 19 elementary schools — the average hides more than it tells.
Nelda Mundy Elementary (65/100) holds the Strong band — 39.4% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 13.5%. 2 schools here rank as Growth Engines — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.
25.2% 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
38 points separate Green Valley Middle (56) from Crystal Middle (19) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
38 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 6 middle schools — the average hides more than it tells.
Green Valley Middle (56/100) holds the Strong band — 29.3% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 13.6%. 1 school here ranks as a Growth Engine — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.
23.9% 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
One school defines the top: Angelo Rodriguez High sits 18 points clear of the field — the other 3 high schools are a different conversation.
37 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 4 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.
Angelo Rodriguez High (62/100) holds the Strong band — 28.5% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 11.6%.
34.7% 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 Nelda Mundy Elementary at 65/100 — 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 — 5 campuses here rank as Growth Engine (3) or On the Rise (2), 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.
