Most rating sites would stop at “37% proficient” and call it done. Community Outreach Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in McClellan, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

As a charter, Community Outreach Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

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 Community Outreach Academy's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 37.0% of students at Community Outreach Academy met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 14.5% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 22.5% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 14.5% 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. 1,352 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Community Outreach Academy rank in California?
Community Outreach Academy ranks #2,771 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 52nd 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 Community Outreach Academy getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Community Outreach Academy decreases by 0.8 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 Community Outreach Academy?
14.5% of students at Community Outreach Academy are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 2.7%. 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 Community Outreach Academy compare to other schools in McClellan?
Community Outreach Academy scores 43/100 (52nd percentile) among California elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 1,931 students.
