Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
One school defines the top: LaVerne Elementary Preparatory Academy sits 21 points clear of the field — the other 17 elementary schools are a different conversation.
47 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 18 elementary schools — the average hides more than it tells.
LaVerne Elementary Preparatory Academy (60/100) holds the Strong band — 35.8% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 10.0%. 1 school here ranks as a Growth Engine — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.
31.0% 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 high school years
28 points separate Oak Hills High (49) from Canyon Ridge High (20) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
7 high schools span 28 points around an average of 34.4.
3 continuation/alternative schools not plotted — they rank within their own class, not on this statewide axis.
Oak Hills High is the strongest option at 49/100 — 12.1% of its students exceed the state standard.
44.7% 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 Krystal School of Science, Math & Technology at 39/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
4 of the 25 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 — 4 campuses here rank as On the Rise (3) or Growth Engine (1), 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.

Top scorers at each level — not necessarily one zoned sequence. Confirm feeder patterns and enrollment zones with the district, and visit before you decide.
