CDE CAASPP 2025

Most rating sites would stop at “57% proficient” and call it done. Citrus Valley deserves a closer read. The school sits in Redlands, where three in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 61.8% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.
