Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
Consistently strong: all 2 elementary schools land within 1 points of each other, averaging 57.2/100 — 18.3 points above the state average.
All 2 elementary schools land within 1 points — the average is a fair summary here.
Longden Elementary (58/100) holds the Strong band — 37.5% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 39.3%.
Only 2 campuses at this level — one school's year moves every number in this chapter.
The high school years
One school defines the top: Temple City High sits 41 points clear of the field — the other 1 high schools are a different conversation.
41 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 2 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.
Temple City High (76/100) holds the Strong band — 37.3% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 18.6%. 1 school classifies as Strong All-Around — no weak dimension we measure.
30.2% 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 Longden Elementary at 58/100 — 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.

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