Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
31 points separate Morello Park Elementary (62) from Las Juntas Elementary (31) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
31 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 4 elementary schools — the average hides more than it tells.
Morello Park Elementary (62/100) holds the Strong band — 41.4% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 27.0%. 1 school classifies as Strong All-Around — no weak dimension we measure.
31 points separate the top and bottom elementary schools — the district average won't predict the school in front of you.
The middle years
One middle school: Martinez Junior High at 49/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Martinez Junior High (49/100) holds the Strong band — 22.4% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 22.4%.
One campus is the whole sample — a single year's cohort moves every number in this chapter.
The high school years
37 points separate Alhambra Senior High (59) from Vicente Martinez High (22) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
37 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 3 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.
Alhambra Senior High is the strongest option at 59/100 — 17.3% of its students exceed the state standard.
38.3% 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 Morello Park Elementary at 62/100 — 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 — 1 campus here ranks as On the Rise, its 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.
