Camino Elementary scores 35 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 28th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Most rating sites would stop at “50% proficient” and call it done. Camino deserves a closer read. The school sits in Camino, where more than half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Frequently asked questions

Is Camino Elementary a good elementary school?

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 Camino Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 49.8% of students at Camino Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 21.2% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 28.6% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 21.2% 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. 237 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Camino Elementary rank in California?
Camino Elementary ranks #4,120 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 28th 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 Camino Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Camino Elementary decreases by 27.4 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 Camino Elementary?
12.9% of students at Camino Elementary are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 6.0%. 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 Camino Elementary compare to other schools in Camino?
Camino Elementary scores 35/100 (28th percentile) among California elementary schools.

Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
