Arma J. Shull Elementary — Rating & test scores

Q: Is Arma J. Shull Elementary a good elementary school?

Arma J. Shull Elementary is in the 92nd percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter elementary schools. Its Scope Score is 68 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In spring 2026, on California's state tests (CAASPP), Arma J. Shull Elementary was well above California in English and math: 77% and 75% met or exceeded the standard in grades 3–5, against 46% and 42% statewide. The Scope Score combines 6 dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard, met or exceeded the standard, grade 3-to-5 growth, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2026, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Q: What are Arma J. Shull Elementary's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2026, 77% of students tested in grades 3–5 met or exceeded the English standard and 75% the math standard; 53% and 52% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 46% and 42% met or exceeded, 24% and 21% exceeded. 304 students were tested in English and 305 in math (CDE CAASPP 2025–26; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

Q: How does Arma J. Shull Elementary rank in California?

Arma J. Shull Elementary is in the 92nd percentile of 5,728 California comprehensive elementary schools (Strong, 2026). Arma J. Shull Elementary ranks #455 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2026 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), aggregate cohort comparison (2024 G3 → 2026 G5), 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.

Q: Is Arma J. Shull Elementary getting better or worse?

SchoolScope compares Arma J. Shull Elementary's grade 3 results in 2024 with its grade 5 results in 2026, using school-level test aggregates. Students are not matched across years, and enrollment changes can affect the comparison. SchoolScope elementary standardized cohort gain: approximately 62nd percentile on a calibrated reference scale, not an empirical school rank. This score compares school-level grade groups across ELA and Math, not matched students in California's separate growth model. It describes an aggregate change; it cannot establish how individual students progressed or what caused it. See full methodology.

Q: What do attendance and suspension records show for Arma J. Shull Elementary?

CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 5.8% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 36 chronically absent of 619 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 1.1%; 7 unduplicated suspended students of 628 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 6.3%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 1.1%. These are model inputs, not CDE's reported rates. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.

Q: How does Arma J. Shull Elementary compare to other schools in San Dimas?

Arma J. Shull Elementary is in the 92nd percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 633 students. Use the schools in San Dimas page or the map view to compare nearby elementary schools.

Q: What middle school does Arma J. Shull Elementary feed into?

By attendance boundary, Arma J. Shull Elementary is zoned to Lone Hill Middle. Lone Hill Middle has a Scope Score of 63 out of 100. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education's School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

The state’s growth measure202 students · grades 4–5 · 2025

English+6ptsCDE level: Accelerated (4 of 5)

Math+8ptsCDE level: Accelerated (4 of 5)

What the number means. California predicts each student’s score from that student’s own English and math scores the year before, based on how students with similar scores did across the state. Zero would mean students here scored as predicted. In English they scored 6 points above that prediction, and in math 8 points above it.

The levels. CDE sorts every school’s result into five levels, from Minimal to Exceptional. The bar under each number shows where this school landed.

Two years at once. For most schools, this one included, CDE’s figure blends the two most recent years of growth, so it moves more slowly than a single year’s scores.

Why our growth can differ. The growth in our Scope Score asks a different question. It doesn’t follow individual students: it compares the latest grade 5 scores here with the school’s grade 3 scores two years earlier, and places that change among California schools at the same level. Children who joined or left the school in between count in ours; the state’s counts only students who took California’s test the year before. So the two can point different ways.

Common questions

Is Arma J. Shull Elementary a good elementary school?

Arma J. Shull Elementary is in the 92nd percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter elementary schools. Its Scope Score is 68 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In spring 2026, on California's state tests (CAASPP), Arma J. Shull Elementary was well above California in English and math: 77% and 75% met or exceeded the standard in grades 3–5, against 46% and 42% statewide. The Scope Score combines 6 dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard, met or exceeded the standard, grade 3-to-5 growth, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2026, analyzed by SchoolScope.

What are Arma J. Shull Elementary's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2026, 77% of students tested in grades 3–5 met or exceeded the English standard and 75% the math standard; 53% and 52% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 46% and 42% met or exceeded, 24% and 21% exceeded. 304 students were tested in English and 305 in math (CDE CAASPP 2025–26; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

How does Arma J. Shull Elementary rank in California?

Arma J. Shull Elementary is in the 92nd percentile of 5,728 California comprehensive elementary schools (Strong, 2026). Arma J. Shull Elementary ranks #455 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2026 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), aggregate cohort comparison (2024 G3 → 2026 G5), 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 Arma J. Shull Elementary getting better or worse?

SchoolScope compares Arma J. Shull Elementary's grade 3 results in 2024 with its grade 5 results in 2026, using school-level test aggregates. Students are not matched across years, and enrollment changes can affect the comparison. SchoolScope elementary standardized cohort gain: approximately 62nd percentile on a calibrated reference scale, not an empirical school rank. This score compares school-level grade groups across ELA and Math, not matched students in California's separate growth model. It describes an aggregate change; it cannot establish how individual students progressed or what caused it. See full methodology.

What do attendance and suspension records show for Arma J. Shull Elementary?

CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 5.8% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 36 chronically absent of 619 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 1.1%; 7 unduplicated suspended students of 628 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 6.3%.

Arma J. Shull Elementary is in the 92nd percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 633 students. Use the schools in San Dimas page or the map view to compare nearby elementary schools.

What do reported student-group results show at Arma J. Shull Elementary?

What middle school does Arma J. Shull Elementary feed into?

By attendance boundary, Arma J. Shull Elementary is zoned to Lone Hill Middle. Lone Hill Middle has a Scope Score of 63 out of 100. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education's School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Current 2025–26 grade results appear above. The 2015–2018 rows were checked against original CDE files; independent re-verification of other stored historical years remains incomplete. The 2015 and 2016 percentages are rounded to whole numbers in the source. “Students with scores” is the rate denominator for that grade, subject and year. A missing result is not zero or a matched cohort.

Each year names its school year end (2026 = 2025–26). “Students with scores” is the subject-specific rate denominator; ELA and Math counts must not be added. The 2015–2018 rows were checked against CDE’s original research files. The 2015 and 2016 files report whole percentages; later rows round to one decimal here. Older stored rows from other years still need independent original-file re-verification. A dash is unavailable, not zero.

CDE reports scale-score points versus its growth-model prediction — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a valid growth score. SchoolScope uses that threshold for the shorter narrative view; the reported values stay visible here. “Not categorised” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. CDE labels at least one imported estimate here WEIGHTED; that describes its aggregation method, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points versus its prediction for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California elementary school records, the median ELA estimate is +2 and the middle half fall between −5 and +9 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read its position among reported schools, not the sign. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8 and is not part of the Scope Score.

ShowHide how the California mean was selected

SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.
