Most rating sites would stop at “47% proficient” and call it done. Butteville deserves a closer read. The school sits in Weed, where two in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

What are Butteville Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 47.4% of students at Butteville Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 17.9% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 29.6% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 17.9% 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. 112 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Butteville Elementary rank in California?
Butteville Elementary ranks #2,798 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 51st 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 Butteville Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Butteville Elementary decreases by 12.3 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth.
