Blue/Green scores are based on the California School Dashboard. Its student group report summarizes the results for all reported groups, color-coded with blue and green for high performance, down to orange and red for low. The color codes are based on the agency’s level and recent trajectory for each metric. Calculating a Blue-Green Score is simple: Using the Student Group Report, count up how many results are blue or green and divide by the total reported results. Good results across all student groups produce a lot of blue and green, up to 100%; poor results for all mean 0%. Source: Parsec Education Manzanita placed 3rd in Equity ranking among 12 similar schools in the state, with a blue/green percentage of 50%. This indicates Manzanita serves its student population more equitably than most similar schools in the state.
