Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
One elementary school: Fairview Elementary at 22/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Students are showing up: chronic absenteeism runs 9.2% against a state average of 17.9%.
1 of 1 elementary schools sits in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.
The middle years
One middle school: Price Intermediate at 17/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Price Intermediate is the strongest option at 17/100 — 2.4% of its students exceed the state standard.
1 of 1 middle schools sits in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.
The high school years
The high schools sit at the state line (49.6 vs 54.0) — the 12-point school-to-school spread is where the choice lives.
2 high schools span 12 points around an average of 49.6.
1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.
Orland High is the strongest option at 56/100 — 9.6% of its students exceed the state standard.
33.2% 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 Fairview Elementary at 22/100 — 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 — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
