Achievement
Raw test performance
Middle of the pool
This is context-adjusted achievement (Alpha) — how grade 10–11 scores compare to expectations from the school's demographics. It is not the growth-based composite shown for elementary and middle schools, because a single-tested-grade high school has no consecutive-grade cohort to measure growth from.
Subject performance
Annual share of the tested high-school grade meeting or exceeding the state standard. Science is descriptive and is not included in the ELA + math HS Decoded Rank.

Share of the tested grade (grade 10–11) meeting or exceeding standard in ELA + math, year over year. This is the school's achievement trend for the tested grade — not student growth and not the K-8 cohort-progression signal.

Data limitations
- Graduation uses state cohort data. Coursework, offerings, and SAT/ACT counts use the latest available federal CRDC extracts, which can lag current graduation data.
- SAT/ACT data is count-only in this extract; without an enrollment denominator, we do not treat it as a participation rate.
- HS Decoded Rank is alpha-only: it summarizes how the school's grade 10/11 test scores compare to expectations from its demographic context, ranked against other HSs in the same metro / state / rural cohort. Graduation, AP, and SAT/ACT data above are descriptive context — they are not yet blended into the composite rank. The achievement-vs-decoded quadrant below plots context-adjusted ACHIEVEMENT (alpha) against raw achievement; it is NOT the growth-based composite shown for elementary and middle schools, because a single-tested-grade high school has no consecutive-grade cohort ladder from which to build a growth signal.

School Alpha
School Alpha is the residual between actual and expected performance once school context is held constant. It is a context-adjusted estimate, not a causal claim about teaching quality. Its reliability shows up on the page as the confidence label and the rank interval, not as a standalone statistic.

What "Decoded Rank" means
Decoded Rank converts School Alpha — the context-adjusted residual — into a parent-facing rank within the metro pool. A higher Decoded Rank than Achievement Rank means the school's raw scores understate its performance once neighborhood and school context are held constant. The reverse means raw scores overstate it. The rank is one signal, not a verdict.

- Methodology published
This score uses state assessment data, NCES enrollment data, and Census ACS 5-year neighborhood data. The Decoded Rank adjusts for school context — student demographics, ELL/SPED service rates, and the socioeconomic profile of the surrounding tract — and shows how the school performs relative to expectation, not in absolute terms.
SchoolDecoder is one signal, not a verdict. Decoded Rank is a context-adjusted residual, not a causal claim about teaching quality. See full methodology →
