Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
34 points separate Frank Zeek Elementary (47) from Shanél Valley Academy (12) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
34 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 8 elementary schools — the average hides more than it tells.
1 of the 5 elementary schools with measurable cohort evidence meet the stronger cohort-gains threshold — aggregate cohort-change indices above the published threshold.
4 of 8 elementary schools sit in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.
The middle years
The middle schools average 18.9/100 — 19.6 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
All 3 middle schools land within 2 points — the average is a fair summary here.
Eagle Peak Middle is the strongest option at 20/100 — 5.8% of its students exceed the state standard.
27.6% of students are chronically absent (state: 18.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
The high school years
43 points separate Redwood Collegiate Academy (61) from South Valley High (Continuation) (18) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
43 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 4 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.
Redwood Collegiate Academy is the strongest option at 61/100 — 29.2% of its students exceed the state standard.
37.2% 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 Frank Zeek Elementary at 47/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
5 of the 15 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 — 2 campuses here rank as On the Rise (1) or Growth Engine (1), their aggregate cohort-change indices above the published threshold. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
