Teacher Credentials & Assignment (2023-24)

Whether the teachers at this school hold a full credential for the subject they are actually assigned to teach. California checks every teaching assignment against the credential behind it and publishes the result each year.

Clear credential, teaching in field

The teacher holds a full California credential and is assigned to the subject and student group that credential authorises. This is the outcome you want to be near 100%.

Out of field

The teacher is credentialed, but is teaching a subject outside what the credential covers, for example a history teacher covering a maths class. It is common in small schools and in shortage subjects, and it is worth asking the school about.

Intern and incomplete

Interns are still completing their preparation programme while teaching. An incomplete record means the paperwork behind the assignment was missing or unresolved when the state ran its check, not that the teacher is unqualified.

What These Numbers Mean

Teacher FTE

Full-Time Equivalent counts part-time teachers proportionally. One full-time teacher = 1.0 FTE; two half-time teachers also = 1.0 FTE. This is the standard federal reporting unit.

Pupil : Teacher ratio

NCES-reported ratio divides total enrollment by teacher FTE. It is NOT the same as average class size — schools with specialists, coaches, and resource teachers will show lower ratios than typical class sizes.

How to read the trend

A falling pupil:teacher ratio (line going down) means more staffing per student — generally a positive signal. A rising line can indicate budget pressure or fast enrollment growth outpacing hiring. Always compare to the US average (dashed grey).

Student Support Staff (CRDC 2021-22)

Non-teaching staff the school reported to the federal Civil Rights Data Collection. Ratios use the current enrollment of 357 students, so they show roughly how many pupils each post covers.
