State test results, 2021-22 and 2022-23

The students tested at Advanced Learning Academy scored proficient or above: 24-39% in reading in 2021-22 and 14% in math in 2022-23, against 45% in reading in 2021-22 and 34.3% in math in 2022-23 across California.

Where a state published results by grade only, the grades tested are combined, weighted by the students tested in each.
