District, charter or private school?
Public schools
Public schools, charter schools included, take California’s state tests, and we compare them with schools at the same level.
Charter schools
Charter schools are public schools. Each one sets how it admits students, so check before you apply.
Private schools
See grades, enrollment and school details. Private schools don’t take the state tests, so we don’t score or rank them.

Common questions
How do I find schools near me?
Enter your ZIP code, city or district in the search bar above, or use the location button. We list the public schools there, one list per level. Schools in the place itself run by Scope Score. For a ZIP code, the nearest schools around it follow, nearest first. Continuation, alternative and special-education schools are listed apart, each with a note on how it is compared.
What does the Scope Score mean?
A school’s percentile says how it compares with California public schools at the same level: the share of those schools it scored higher than. It comes from the Scope Score, a composite of test results, attendance and other public school data. It cannot tell you everything about a school or whether it is the right fit for your child. See full methodology.
Can I compare charter and other public schools?
Yes. A search lists an area’s charter schools in their own section, and each charter row says to check how it admits students. Every row shows the school’s percentile among California schools at its level, and its Scope Score. A charter that is an alternative school is listed apart, compared only with other alternative schools. To compare English (reading and writing) and math results, attendance and student groups, open profiles side by side.

Where does the data come from?
We calculate the Scope Score from California Department of Education (CDE) data: state test results (CAASPP), chronic absence, suspensions, graduation and the state’s college and career readiness measure. The student mix on each profile comes from the CDE chronic-absence file, and enrollment counts from the federal Common Core of Data (NCES). Profiles add records from the University of California, the College Board and the International Baccalaureate Organization. Score years: 2025–26 elementary/middle; 2024–25 high school. Each measure names its own source year. Every source we use is listed on About.
