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 23.1/100 — 15.8 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
All 3 elementary schools land within 6 points — the average is a fair summary here.
Jack London Elementary is the strongest option at 27/100 — 9.1% of its students exceed the state standard.
2 of 3 elementary schools sit in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.
The high school years
One high school: Northwest Prep Charter at 48/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Northwest Prep Charter is the strongest option at 48/100 — 21.4% of its students exceed the state standard.
27.4% 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 Jack London Elementary at 27/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
3 of the 4 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 — 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.
