Most rating sites would stop at “52% proficient” and call it done. Etna deserves a closer read. The school sits in Etna, where three in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 6.2% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.

The Scope Score weights 6 dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard (38%), grade 3-to-5 growth (27%), met or exceeded (proficient) (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 Etna Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 51.7% of students at Etna Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 20.6% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 31.2% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 20.6% 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. 238 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Etna Elementary rank in California?
Etna Elementary ranks #3,061 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 47th 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 Etna Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Etna Elementary decreases by 18.2 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 Etna Elementary?
6.2% of students at Etna 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 6.3%. 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 Etna Elementary compare to other schools in Etna?
Etna Elementary scores 41/100 (47th 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 125 students.

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.
