Academic performance
California STAR program
California's Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program, which includes the California Standards Tests (CST), the California Modified Assessment (CMA), and the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA), measures the achievement of California content standards for grades two through eleven. STAR results include English-language arts and mathematics in grades 2-11, science in grades 5 and 8-11, and history-social science in grades 8, 10, and 11. In high school, math and science tests reflect the course in which the student is enrolled. There are five benchmarks to indicate a student's proficiency on STAR. "Proficient" or "Advanced" indicates that a student is meeting or exceeding state standards, which is the desired achievement goal for all students.[10]

Issues
Recall effort
An effort to recall three members of the El Rancho Unified School District Board of Education was started in April 2016, but was unable to gather enough signatures to make it to the ballot. Board President Aurora Villon, Vice President Jose Lara, and member Gabriel Orosco were targeted for recall over a decision to put a new magnet school in the district's empty Selby Grove Elementary School building. Leaders of the recall effort said they were not against the magnet school, but they disagreed with the location and thought the money for it could be better used for other improvements. Villon, Lara, and Orosco said they were surprised by the recall effort and the pushback on the magnet school.[12][13]
