ranked #5,401 statewide · #47 of 55 in San Bernardino City Unified
ASA Charter scores 22 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 6th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “15% proficient” and call it done. ASA Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in San Bernardino, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
Test scores are one lens, and at this school they're a rough one right now. The sections below show the fuller picture — including the parts that are working.
As a charter, ASA Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Frequently asked questions
Is ASA Charter a good elementary school?
ASA Charter has a Scope Score of 22 out of 100, placing it in the 6th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #5,401 statewide. 3.2% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 18.1 percentage points below the California average of 21.3%. The Scope Score weights six dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard (43%), met or exceeded (22%), grade 3-to-5 growth (15%), chronic absenteeism (10%), ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%), and suspension rate (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are ASA Charter's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 14.8% of students at ASA Charter met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 3.2% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 11.6% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 3.2% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it reveals whether a school's curriculum challenges students beyond minimum proficiency or paces toward it. 151 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does ASA Charter rank in California?
ASA Charter ranks #5,401 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 6th 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 ASA Charter getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at ASA Charter decreases by 0.6 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.
What is the attendance and school culture like at ASA Charter?
36.6% of students at ASA Charter are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 1.9%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does ASA Charter compare to other schools in San Bernardino?
ASA Charter scores 22/100 (6th percentile) among California elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 334 students. Use the schools in San Bernardino page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does ASA Charter serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At ASA Charter in San Bernardino, 24.3% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 34.5% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. ASA Charter trails its district average for low-income students by 10.2 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (8.7% Math proficient); Hispanic students (23.0% ELA proficient). Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 173 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
