Brookfield Engineering Science Technology Academy: english

The shaded band is this school's normal range. If nothing about how it works changes, nearly every future year should land inside it. Zero means the typical student just meets the state standard. The small numbers under the years are how many students were tested.

Measured against the grade bars

The state's English test uses one scale for every grade, so a score means the same thing in grade 3 as in grade 11.

All students

3rd The average 3rd grader scores 43 points under the grade 3 bar. 2389 vs. 2432.
4th The average 4th grader scores 15 points under the grade 3 bar. 2417 vs. 2432. The 4th-grade bar is 2473.
5th The average 5th grader scores 11 points under the grade 4 bar. 2462 vs. 2473. The 5th-grade bar is 2502.
6th The average 6th grader scores 28 points under the grade 5 bar. 2474 vs. 2502. The 6th-grade bar is 2531.
7th The average 7th grader scores just under the grade 6 bar. 2531 vs. 2531. The 7th-grade bar is 2552.
8th The average 8th grader scores 11 points under the grade 6 bar. 2520 vs. 2531. The 8th-grade bar is 2567.
11th The average 11th grader scores 17 points under the grade 7 bar. 2535 vs. 2552. The 11th-grade bar is 2583.

Students fluent in English

The closest these results come to reading alone: English is not in the way. Includes students who have only ever spoken English.

Grade bars 3rd 52 students 21 points under the grade 3 bar. 4th 49 students 29 points under the grade 4 bar. 6th 53 students Just under the grade 5 bar. 7th 53 students Meets the grade 7 bar. 8th 83 students Just under the grade 7 bar. 11th 32 students Meets the grade 11 bar.

English learners

Students leave this group as they become fluent, so its average stays low even where they learn well.

Grade bars 3rd 11 students 147 points under the grade 3 bar. 4th 13 students 118 points under the grade 3 bar. 6th 15 students 44 points under the grade 3 bar. 7th 11 students 59 points under the grade 3 bar. 8th 19 students 21 points under the grade 3 bar. 11th 31 students Just under the grade 4 bar.

the group's average that grade's own bar the distance between

2026 results. The English test covers reading, writing, listening and research together. "Meets standard" is the state's mark for being on track for that grade. The state leaves out any group of ten students or fewer, so a grade may be missing from the charts.

Step 1 · Each year's result

For each grade tested, take the average (mean) scale score from the California Department of Education's results file, and subtract the lowest score that counts as "Standard Met" for that grade. That is the grade's distance from standard. Weight each grade by its share of the students tested, then add the grades up. Grades where the state hides the average because ten or fewer students tested are left out entirely.

Step 2 · The average and the normal range

Average: add the yearly results and divide by how many there are. −133, −104, −92, −59, −45 → −86.6
Typical year-to-year change: how far the result moved from each year to the next, ignoring up or down. 2022→2023: 29 · 2023→2024: 12 · 2024→2025: 33 · 2025→2026: 14 → average 22
Normal range: multiply the typical change by 2.66, then add it to the average and subtract it. 22 × 2.66 = 58.5. Upper limit −28.1, lower limit −145.1.

Why 2.66? It is the standard factor from quality control, the work of Walter Shewhart and W. Edwards Deming. It turns "how much the result typically changes in a year" into "how far it can wander by chance alone".

Step 3 · Free or reduced-price meals

The share of enrolled students eligible for free or reduced-price meals. From 2020–21, 2021–22, 2022–23, 2023–24, 2024–25, 2025–26.
