What’s coming

What are we building next?

Right now SchoolScope covers California. Here is what we plan to build after that, in the order we plan to build it. We don’t promise dates, because we would rather get each one right.

state so far: CaliforniaTexas is next.

Now

What are we adding to California?

More about each school, before more states. These are built or being built.

Answers from families and staff

Parents and school staff can answer a short set of questions about a school. A school’s answers show once 20 families have answered.

More application dates

Charter school deadlines, read from each school’s own site, with the date we read them.

More about private schools

What each school reports: grades, size, tuition where the school publishes it, and how to apply. Private schools stay unscored.

Street maps on city and district pages

Roads and the coastline under each city’s schools, so you can see where they are.

Help for families who are moving

Start from where you might live: the schools an address leads to at each stage, next to typical rents and home prices for the area. We will not sell your details to agents, and a school score is not a reason to pay more for a house.

Which states come after California?

One state at a time. A state goes live when its scores pass the same checks as California’s.

  1. TexasThe second largest state. Its STAAR test reports the same split we show for California: students who met the standard, and students who went past it.
  2. New YorkState tests in grades 3 to 8 and Regents exams in high school.
  3. FloridaThe FAST tests, and a free pre-K program for every four-year-old.

Each state publishes different tests, so each state gets its own Scope Score, compared only inside that state.
