Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
The elementary schools average 77.5/100 — 38.6 points above the state average, with 3 of 3 in the Strong band.
3 elementary schools span 13 points around an average of 77.5.
Laurel Elementary (83/100) holds the Strong band — 59.7% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 56.9%. 1 school here ranks as a Growth Engine — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.
Only 3 campuses at this level — one school's year moves every number in this chapter.
The middle years
One middle school: Hillview Middle at 77/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Hillview Middle (77/100) holds the Strong band — 52.3% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 52.3%.
One campus is the whole sample — a single year's cohort moves every number in this chapter.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Laurel Elementary at 83/100 — 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 Growth Engine, 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.
