Brywood Elementary — Rating & test scores

Q: Is Brywood Elementary a good elementary school?

Brywood Elementary is in the 97th percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter elementary schools. Its Scope Score is 80 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In spring 2026, on California's state tests (CAASPP), Brywood Elementary was well above California in English and math: 74% and 74% 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 Brywood Elementary's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2026, 74% of students tested in grades 3–5 met or exceeded the English standard and 74% the math standard; 57% and 54% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 46% and 42% met or exceeded, 24% and 21% exceeded. 271 students were tested in English and 273 in math (CDE CAASPP 2025–26; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

Q: How does Brywood Elementary rank in California?

Brywood Elementary is in the 97th percentile of 5,728 California comprehensive elementary schools (Strong, 2026). Brywood Elementary ranks #140 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 Brywood Elementary getting better or worse?

SchoolScope compares Brywood 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 97th 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 Brywood Elementary?

CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 7.1% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 42 chronically absent of 589 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 0.5%; 3 unduplicated suspended students of 600 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 7.6%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 0.6%. 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 Brywood Elementary compare to other schools in Irvine?

Brywood Elementary is in the 97th 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 578 students. Use the schools in Irvine page or the map view to compare nearby elementary schools.

Q: What middle school does Brywood Elementary feed into?

By attendance boundary, Brywood Elementary is zoned to Sierra Vista Middle. 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 measure273 students in English, 272 in math · grades 4–6 · 2025

English+11ptsCDE level: Accelerated (4 of 5)

Math+19ptsCDE 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 11 points above that prediction, and in math 19 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.

What are Brywood Elementary's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2026, 74% of students tested in grades 3–5 met or exceeded the English standard and 74% the math standard; 57% and 54% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 46% and 42% met or exceeded, 24% and 21% exceeded. 271 students were tested in English and 273 in math (CDE CAASPP 2025–26; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

How does Brywood Elementary rank in California?

Brywood Elementary is in the 97th percentile of 5,728 California comprehensive elementary schools (Strong, 2026). Brywood Elementary ranks #140 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 Brywood Elementary getting better or worse?

SchoolScope compares Brywood 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 97th 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 Brywood Elementary?

CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 7.1% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 42 chronically absent of 589 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 0.5%; 3 unduplicated suspended students of 600 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 7.6%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 0.6%. These are model inputs, not CDE's reported rates. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.

How does Brywood Elementary compare to other schools in Irvine?

Brywood Elementary is in the 97th 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 578 students. Use the schools in Irvine page or the map view to compare nearby elementary schools.

What do reported student-group results show at Brywood Elementary?

What middle school does Brywood Elementary feed into?

By attendance boundary, Brywood Elementary is zoned to Sierra Vista Middle. 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.

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.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, 2020–2024 5-year estimates. Median household income covers the past 12 months and is reported in 2024 inflation-adjusted dollars. Bachelor's degree or higher uses adults age 25 and over as its population. A dash is unavailable, not zero; a reported zero remains zero. ZIP/ZCTA context does not establish the school's attendance area or describe its enrolled students. These figures are not part of the Scope Score.
