Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
One elementary school: Vineyard Elementary at 44/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
The level averages 44.3/100 — 5.5 points above the state average.
One campus is the whole sample — a single year's cohort moves every number in this chapter.
The middle years
The middle schools average 31.1/100 — 7.4 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
2 middle schools span 14 points around an average of 31.1.
Students are showing up: chronic absenteeism runs 12.3% against a state average of 18.1%.
1 of 2 middle schools sits in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.
The high school years
The path ends on a single bet: Templeton High at 61, then a 19-point drop to the next of 2 high schools.
2 high schools span 19 points around an average of 52.1.
Templeton High is the strongest option at 61/100 — 19.8% of its students exceed the state standard.
1 of 2 high schools sits in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Vineyard Elementary at 44/100 — 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.
