Scope Score

🤝 Culture First · Developing
ranked #2,606 statewide · #11 of 11 in Buckeye Union Elementary
Clarksville Charter scores 42 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 55th 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 “35% proficient” and call it done. Clarksville Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in El Dorado Hills, where one in three students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 1.5% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.
As a charter, Clarksville Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Frequently asked questions
Is Clarksville Charter a good elementary school?
Clarksville Charter has a Scope Score of 42 out of 100, placing it in the 55th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #2,606 statewide. 12.6% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 8.8 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 Clarksville Charter's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 35.2% of students at Clarksville Charter met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 12.6% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 22.7% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 12.6% 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. 1,192 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Clarksville Charter rank in California?
Clarksville Charter ranks #2,606 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 55th 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 Clarksville Charter getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Clarksville Charter decreases by 3.5 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 Clarksville Charter?

The suspension rate is 0.0%, 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.
