Annual results and the full academic record
Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025

Has stayed near the 8th percentile since 2019.

Most rating sites would stop at “11% proficient” and call it done. Di Giorgio deserves a closer read. Nearly all of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 7.0% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.

153 tested · 3 of 3 grades published · no cohort tracked

Di Giorgio Elementary scores 18 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 8th percentile of 5,721 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 11% meet the standard today, versus 16% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.

State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25

California's own growth model splits here — the 45th percentile in reading against the 21st in math, among elementary schools.

Context — never part of the Scope Score

California runs its own growth model — it follows individual children in grades 4 through 8 and compares each one against a prediction from their own prior scores. On that measure this school sits a little below the middle of California elementary schools in reading, and the 21st in math. We show it; we don't score it.

— 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 elementary school lands at +2 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −5 and +9 — 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.

Low-income students here meet the ELA standard behind the same group statewide.

At Di Giorgio Elementary in Arvin, 20.9% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 20.9% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Di Giorgio Elementary outperforms its district average for low-income students by 0.0 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (13.1% Math proficient); Hispanic students (20.8% ELA proficient). Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 153 students tested.

Low-income students here trail the state average for their group by 17 points in ELA — worth asking how the school is closing that gap.

California follows these children individually and predicts each one's score from their own prior year. Each row is read against the same group at a typical California elementary school — not against zero, and not against this school's all-students figure, because the state's expectation already differs by group.

— 2 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 knowing

At 231 students, this school is much smaller than the typical California elementary school (≈480).

Transitional kindergarten is offered here — confirmed by actual Census Day enrollment, not just the listed grade span.

On the state's science test (CAST), 16% met or exceeded the standard — science is tested in grades 5 and 8 and once in high school, and it never enters the Scope Score.

Worth a school visit

Ask what changed in the last two years, and what the school is asking families for. Growth shows up in these numbers a year or two after it shows up in classrooms.

  • Ask what changes between grade 3 and grade 5 here, and who teaches the older kids.
  • 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 Di Giorgio Elementary a good elementary school?
Di Giorgio Elementary has a Scope Score of 18 out of 100, placing it in the 8th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #5,288 statewide. 2.9% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 18.5 percentage points below the California average of 21.4%. The Scope Score weights 6 dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard (42%), met or exceeded (proficient) (23%), grade 3-to-5 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 Di Giorgio Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 11.2% of students at Di Giorgio Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 2.9% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 8.3% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 2.9% 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. 165 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Di Giorgio Elementary rank in California?
Di Giorgio Elementary ranks #5,288 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 8th 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.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Di Giorgio Elementary?
7.0% of students at Di Giorgio 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 0.3%, 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.
How does Di Giorgio Elementary compare to other schools in Arvin?
Di Giorgio Elementary scores 18/100 (8th 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 231 students. Use the schools in Arvin page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does Di Giorgio Elementary serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Di Giorgio Elementary in Arvin, 20.9% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 20.9% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Di Giorgio Elementary outperforms its district average for low-income students by 0.0 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (13.1% Math proficient); Hispanic students (20.8% ELA proficient). Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 153 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.

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.
