Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.

Stage 1 of 3

The elementary years

Consistently strong: all 3 elementary schools land within 11 points of each other, averaging 51.2/100 — 12.3 points above the state average.

0100
Strong Solid Developing Needs Support district avg state avg

3 elementary schools span 11 points around an average of 51.2.

The strength

Aviation Elementary (58/100) holds the Strong band — 34.9% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 29.4%. 1 school here ranks as a Growth Engine — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.

The catch

Only 3 campuses at this level — one school's year moves every number in this chapter.

One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.

The strength

The level averages 47.3/100 — 8.7 points above the state average.

The high school years

The high schools average 48.9/100 — 5.1 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.

3 high schools span 14 points around an average of 48.9.

The strength

Students are showing up: chronic absenteeism runs 15.7% against a state average of 23.1%.

The catch

2 of 3 high schools sit in the Needs Support band — which campus you're zoned for carries real weight here.

What it means for your family

If you're choosing a neighborhood

Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Aviation Elementary at 58/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.

If you already live here

4 of the 7 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.

If your kid is enrolled now

A band is a position, not a prophecy — 1 campus here ranks as Growth Engine, its returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.

The strongest-scoring run through the district:

Aviation Elementary 85th percentile · StrongScope Score 58/100Wiseburn Middle 73rd percentile · SolidScope Score 47/100Da Vinci Science 66th percentile · SolidScope Score 58/100

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

What this page can't see: whether a campus feels safe and glad at 8 a.m. If a path above looks workable, the next step is a visit.

Frequently asked questions

How many schools are listed in Wiseburn Unified?
This SchoolScope directory lists 7 public schools in Wiseburn Unified with 2024–25 reporting records. This is directory coverage, not a complete campus inventory. Each school appears under its primary reporting level; a K–8 or K–12 campus may serve additional grades.

Can I compare elementary, middle, and high schools directly?
Compare schools at the same level and within the same enrollment group. Scope Score formulas and available measures differ by level. The plots show comprehensive public schools separately for each level; individual profiles explain their comparison group.
Does living in Wiseburn Unified guarantee a particular school?
A district outline does not establish assignment to an individual school. Attendance boundaries, programs, permits, and available space can affect enrollment. Confirm the requirements directly with the district.
What does a SchoolScope pattern mean?
Archetypes summarize patterns in publicly reported academic and school-climate measures. They describe reported results, not a school’s quality or a child’s fit. Open the school profile for reporting years, missing measures, and questions to ask. Read how the patterns are defined.
Where do these results come from?
The underlying public data comes from the California Department of Education, including CAASPP reporting for 2024–25. Scope Scores and archetypes are SchoolScope calculations, not official CDE ratings. View CDE data and SchoolScope’s methodology and limitations.
