What are Anderson Valley Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 27.3% of students at Anderson Valley Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 9.6% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 17.8% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 9.6% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

How does Anderson Valley Elementary rank in California?
Anderson Valley Elementary ranks #3,811 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 34th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 3 to grade 5 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
Is Anderson Valley Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Anderson Valley Elementary decreases by 10.5 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth. This downward pattern doesn't necessarily mean the school is failing — it can reflect cohort differences, demographic shifts, or curriculum changes. A campus visit and conversation with teachers can reveal what the numbers can't. Growth trajectory is weighted at 15% in the elementary Scope Score because it measures what the school does, not just who walks in the door.
