Scores are district-wide. This filter selects districts serving these grades; it does not isolate results for this school level. City links open schools filtered to the selected level.
Ranks compare one result within the same district type. School level, city and name filters keep those ranks. City links show boundary overlap; confirm individual addresses with the district. How this works ↓
City links show boundary intersections, not confirmed enrollment for every address. Confirm attendance and application rules with the district.
What the rankings tell you
Each rank orders one published result, from highest to lowest, among covered districts of the same type. It is our ordering of CDE data, not an official CDE ranking or an overall school rating. Equal values share a rank; the next position skips accordingly. Filtering by school level, city or name keeps the original peer-group rank.
School level filters use the district’s reported grade range: elementary K–5, middle 6–8 and high 9–12. A district appears when its range overlaps the selected grades. Elementary districts can include middle schools, and unified districts can cover all three levels. The published scores remain district-wide; they are not separate elementary, middle or high-school results.
Achievement and progress answer different questions
English and math achievement show average points above or below California’s test standard for 2024–25. These are not percentages. CDE participation adjustments can affect both the result and reported denominator, so the count is not necessarily the number of tested students.
Student growth measures progress relative to students with similar prior scores in grades 4–8. The 2025 release combines multiple assessment years. We retain CDE’s growth score and category; high-school districts have no applicable growth result.
A district average is a starting point
Elementary, high-school and unified districts cover different grades, so they have separate rankings. Schools and programs within one district can differ. These aggregate results do not isolate a school’s contribution or predict a home’s future value.
No demographic characteristics, home prices or private ratings enter the ranking. Missing, suppressed or incompatible results remain unranked. There is no blended score or letter grade.
Use this in your home search
Follow a city link to inspect its school map and individual school results. A district’s boundary intersecting a city—including water or open space—does not establish that it serves a particular home. Confirm the exact address, grade, program and intended school year with the district before relying on an assignment.
