Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025
Has held the 93rd-percentile line every tested year since 2019.
Most rating sites would stop at “60% proficient” and call it done. Crittenden deserves a closer read. It sits at the 93rd percentile of 2,177 California middle schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.
The headline number: +4.9pp separates this year's grade 6 from its grade 8. The state average rises 0.1pp over the same span. Following the school's returning cohort from 2023 G6 → 2025 G8 points the same way.

California’s growth results and student groups
State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25
Our growth read and California's own model disagree here — the 95th percentile against the state's 72nd.
Context — never part of the Scope Score
California runs its own growth model, following individual children in grades 4 through 8 rather than comparing school-wide averages the way we do — and here the two measures disagree. Ours puts this school around the 95th percentile of California middle schools; the state's puts it around the 72nd in reading and math together — a harder read than ours. We are not going to pretend one of those is the answer. Neither measure sees an individual child's classroom, and a disagreement this size is worth asking the principal about directly.
— pts vs expected is scale-score points above or below what California's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores. It is not a percentage and not a percent of anything. A typical California middle school lands at −1 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −8 and +6 — the spread is wide, so read the rank, not the sign. CDE blends two consecutive years into each published figure, so adjacent years share input data and no year-over-year trend can honestly be drawn from them. It covers grades 4-8 only, and it is not part of the Scope Score — we assessed it and left it out: it tracks school demographics roughly three times as strongly as our own growth measure does, and one published year is not enough to test how stable it is.

— 3 more groups are reported here with between 11 and 29 students. We hold those back on purpose: at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own, and a quarter of such groups land past the state's top or bottom cut point by chance alone. They are listed with their student counts in the data appendix. — A group not listed at all had fewer than 11 students with a growth score, so California published nothing for it here. That is a privacy protection, not a judgment about those students. — Context only. None of this enters the Scope Score.

Worth a school visit
Ask what changed — new curriculum, new principal, new program. Momentum has a cause, and a visit will find it.
- Ask how teachers track each child's growth over the year, not just where the class lands on test day.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
- Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
- Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
- Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Crittenden Middle a good middle school?
Crittenden Middle has a Scope Score of 68 out of 100, placing it in the 93rd percentile of California middle schools and ranked #152 statewide. 37.9% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 20.7 percentage points above the California average of 17.2%. The Scope Score weights 6 dimensions for middle schools: exceeded standard (42%), met or exceeded (proficient) (23%), grade 6-to-8 growth (20%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Crittenden Middle's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 59.9% of students at Crittenden Middle met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 37.9% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 22.1% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 37.9% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 1,223 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Crittenden Middle rank in California?
Crittenden Middle ranks #152 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 93rd percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), same-cohort growth (2023 G6 → 2025 G8), 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 Crittenden Middle getting better or worse?
SchoolScope follows the same cohort of students across grades rather than comparing two different grades in the same year. At Crittenden Middle that cohort is 2023 G6 → 2025 G8, measured in SBAC scale-score points. Its gain ranks strong among California middle schools — roughly the 95th percentile, ahead of the typical school at this level. Read the ranking, not the raw point gain: scale scores rise with age, so nearly every school posts a positive number and only the relative position tells you anything. Growth is weighted at 20% in the middle Scope Score because it is the least demographically confounded signal available — it tracks change over time rather than the level students arrived at. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Crittenden Middle?
13.3% of students at Crittenden Middle are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 18.1%. The suspension rate is 4.9%. 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 Crittenden Middle compare to other schools in Mountain View?
Crittenden Middle scores 68/100 (93rd percentile) among California middle 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 616 students. Use the schools in Mountain View page or the map view to compare all middle schools nearby.
How does Crittenden Middle serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Crittenden Middle in Mountain View, 39.7% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 27.8% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Crittenden Middle outperforms its district average for low-income students by 11.9 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (27.4% Math proficient); Hispanic students (38.8% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 56.5 percentage points for english learner students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 184 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.

What the score weighs · CAASPP 2024–25
Growth carries this score — its returning cohort's growth from grade 6 to grade 8. The test levels clear the state's too.
The school's returning cohort — mostly, not exactly, the same kids two years on — gained 70 scale-score points across the span. Almost every school gains points, so we rank the gain against every other California school in this level.

We show the grade rows CDE publishes for this school. A missing grade or dash can mean the school does not serve that grade, that we hold no valid result for it, or that the tested group was too small to report. It does not mean zero.

Grade gap = this year's grade 3 vs grade 5 result, two different sets of students, not a trend for any one child — it is not the measurement the Scope Score's growth dimension uses. See §01 above and /methodology#verdicts for the school's actual scored (cohort) growth.

Whole scale-score points above or below what CDE's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores — not a percentage, not a percentile. Statewide a typical school lands near +1 with a spread of about 13 points either side, so read a figure against its group's own typical value, not against zero. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a growth score — published by CDE, held back from the narrative sections above because at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own. “Not categorised” is CDE assigning no band — English Only, Recently Reclassified, and English Learners Only receive a value and no band, for every school in the state. It is not a missing number. Long-Term English Learner counts cover grades 6-8 only (CDE), so that row is not comparable to the All Students row. Most figures blend two consecutive years, so adjacent published years share input data and no trend line can honestly be drawn across them. A group absent from this table had fewer than 11 students with a growth score and was never published. Grades 4-8 only. None of this enters the Scope Score — it is more strongly correlated with school demographics than our own growth measure, and one published year is not enough to test its reliability.
